In its exploration by land difficult and dangerous times, but certainly not like today, because those areas had not yet anointed of landmines, our Marco Polo comes to the eastern India, a vast area comprising the present Bangladesh and West Bengal of India, to the state of Orissa.
Chapter 122
... and after leaving the province of Mien( Burma), there is a province towards the south unto the name Gangal ( Bengal ) Over the years, Domains 1290 I was in the court, the Great Khan had yet conquered, but still there was landlord to do so. In this province, their language and they are very bad year and they are idols to them borders of India. Elli merchandise make great year of expensive spices, lavender and Galing zinzibe and meat and live fish and rice.
Even today, percorrendo queste aree rurali del subcontinente è tutto un susseguirsi di piccoli villaggi tra le risaie, popolate di contadini che alternano la loro difficile vita tra il fango che genera 
il loro alimento principe e i piccoli mercati spontanei che sorgono tra le capanne, dove su teli improvvisati a terra vengono offerte immutabili, le spezie di allora. Piccole piramidi di radici di zenzero, mucchietti di coriandolo, mazzi di erbe odorose e poi via, seduti nelle approssimative taverne a mangiare i cibi di strada, pesce di fiume in un sugo piccante in cui intingere palline di riso mescolate con le mani (mi raccomando con la destra, che la sinistra serve ad altri più immondi usi, e usando solo la punta delle dita che fa più chic, but as Acquaviva says here, you can also suck for not losing the dressing that is as good and as they say, if no one can enjoy only half). Well our Marco will also been used since then in Venice the fork had not yet invented, but I assure you that at first, this mix the rice to mix with the rest, made up of large flat leaves banian, I put a little difficulty. Only hunger then, overcomes the barriers between cultures. But this is not the land of the Indians, but the Adivasis, "those who were there before." There are primitive tribes that populated the area before the arrival of the Aryans, despised by the Hindu mainstream culture, and remained anchored to the ancient traditions, which surprised even our brand.

Males and females are painted on all birds and beasts, for eagles and other currencies; dipingonsi and the face, hands, body and everything . This is being done out of kindness and the more of these n'à dipinture, it is considered more polite and nicer.
This is one of the many interesting aspects of these people who now live isolated in the dense forests of Bengal and Orissa, which unwillingly primitive are being wiped out of greed nostro mondo e dal nostro prepotente sistema di vita. Gli straordinari tatuaggi che ricoprono i corpi delle diverse tribù dai Kutia, ai Gondria, ai Khond sono ancora oggi esibiti per la loro bellezza e la ragazza che mi mostrava orgogliosa il suo viso ricoperto dai segni che simulavano i baffi della tigre, uguali a quelli che la sua progenitrice mostrò a Marco, forse non li farà più a sua figlia e anche al mercato, accanto alle piramidi di peperoncino rosso come il fuoco che promette, cominciano a vedersi, cucchiai e forchette di alluminio, assieme ai coloratissimi braccialetti di plastica cinese. Il Gran Khan ha compiuto definitivamente la sua conquista.
