Dumka
Dumka ( Santali: ᱫᱩᱢᱠᱟᱹ), the headquarters of the Dumka district and Santhal Pargana region, is a city in the state of Jharkhand, India. It was made the headquarters of the Santhal Pargana region, which was carved out of the Bhagalpur and Birbhum district after the Santal Hool of 1855.

The first one suggests that Dumka's name derives from the Santali word ''sumk'' for "shunted" or "small," because during the British Raj, it was a small town compared to Rampurhat and Bhagalpur . The other is that Dumka derives its name from the Persian word '' damin-i-koh'', which means 'skirts (an edge, border or extreme part) of the hills'. H ...

Damin-i-koh
Damin-i-koh (or sometimes referred to simply as Damin) was the name given to the forested hilly areas of Rajmahal hills broadly in the area of present Sahebganj, Pakur and Godda districts in the Indian state of Jharkhand. Etymology Damin-i-koh is a Persian word meaning the skirts of the hills. History The Damin-i-koh was a densely forested and hilly area. Even in the valleys there was hardly any human interference except for an occasional Paharia village. That was the situation for centuries. There were three groups of Paharia primitive tribes, namely the Sauria Paharias, Kumarbhag Paharias, and the Mal Paharias.
