That Intro Map pointing Odia as Oudh literally offends not just me , but every Odia speakers out there a lot. For your Kind Information, Oudh was an anglicized way to speak up Awadh , which was a breakaway riyasat from Mughal empire in the 18th century and actually lies in your "Map" 's Hindi /Hindustani Region , and it covers a large part of Today's Indian State of Uttar Pradesh.
On the contrary , The Modern Indian state of Odisha for a large part has remained homogeneous , and also has it's own share of great history on Kingdoms , Empires , Cultures , Foods, Traditions , Cothings and Attires , Literatures etc and has been a proud part and contribute of Indian Sanatana civilization. It's ancient names were lesser known as Udra and Toshali and more famously by two words , Utkala and Kalinga. Also a lesser known name it has inherited was the Gajapati empire .The Word Kalinga is itself famous beyond the state's border . Ashoka's famous war of attrition against the Coastal Janapada of Toshali on the banks of River Daya forced the Emperor to shun war forever ( contrary to myths of him converting to Buddhism after this war is false, as he waged this after long after he adhered to the steps of Buddhism ) . The Andhra city of Kalingapatnam bears the name of Kalinga as it has been historically a part of Kalinga kingdom and the Gajapati empire.
