Yes. An anthology was published by Gajapati Press long ago in 1926 (which has fortunately been digitised) https://t.co/NcfJHC9EqZ

Dilemma by
Bidyut Prabha Devi

The grinding is half done.
Where are you,
eldest daughter-in-law?
Unmindful of chores
that lie piled up
until nightfall!

“Am I a bonded labourer?
Am I to be sold daily
only for this house?
Work, work and more work!

I think Chatterji (1926) mentions this. Oriya used to be in the /ri/ group, like Bengali, but shifted to /ru/ under Telugu cultural influence. I'll see if I can find the details and timeline.

Read this article from 1926 by Gopabandhu Das , asking everyone to unite for Odia as a language.
Especially the guys who writes Hindi headlines in @kanak_news and @News18Odia like channels.

The discourses then was that controlling a river would bring in development. Science & information were used to argue & execute it. While the lessons learnt tell diff stories & discourses getting nuanced, same arguments continue to rule our river.
