History

Baudh was one among the 26 Feudatory States of Orissa. According to legend the state originated in a preexisting state that had been founded centuries before by a Brahmin who adopted as successor a nephew of the Raja of Keonjhar.[2]

The formerly princely state's territory is now within Boudh District.

gollark: The issues I think are most problematic are just companies being able to influence governance, and I'm not really sure what to do about that. Perhaps just have strong norms about having the government not do much.
gollark: You'd need a way to somehow be able to have some of the profit from new fundamental stuff go back to its original investors.
gollark: Probably some kind of long-term research investment things?
gollark: I think with better coordinating/financial structures in place we could probably have better encouragement to do fundamental stuff.
