History
According to the Census Report of T.J. Maltby of 1880, the Khindirisrunga (ଖିଣ୍ଡିରିଶୃଙ୍ଗ) or Khidisingi (ଖିଡ଼ିସିଙ୍ଗି) estate was established by Raja Sobha Chandra Singh of Sabeijaipur in 1168 which comprised present day Sorada, Dharakot, Sheragada blocks of Ganjam district (also includes some parts of Mohana block of Gajapati district). In 1476, Raja Baliar Singh divided Khidisingi into four different estates after the untimely demise of his eldest son. Sorada estate went to his third son, Raja Sandhadhanu Singh.
Badagada – Raja Daman Singh (Baliar Singh's grandson from his eldest son)
Sorada – Raja Sandhadhanu Singh (also known as Abhaya Pratap)
Sheragada – Raja Parsuram Singh (Minor) (Represented by Raja Baliar himself).
When Britishers annexed over Ganjam, they put this zamindari under the administration of Madras Presidency which is mentioned in List of zamindari estates in Madras Presidency. Subsequently in 1836, Britishers auctioned and abolished the zamindari rights of Sorada along with Ghumusar over multiple mutiny and dues in tax payment. In 1936, Sorada became part of newly created Orissa Province and since the independence of India, it has been administered by the Odisha state.
