Raja Sri Shankar Pratap was more repressive as a result of which the common people rose in revolt. The revolt was organised and mobilized mainly by Harmohan Patnaik, who was the grandson of Dhenkanal Bebarta Jagannath Patnaik and Dewan Damodar Patnaik. Harmohan Patnaik formed the Dhenkanal Praja Mandal and was elected as its president. Same time Sena Adhyaksh Senapati Nakula Samanta Sinhara and Zamindar Sarbarakar Fakira Charana Garnaik from Hindol princely state formed the Hindol Praja Mandal and Nakula Samanta Sinhara was elected as its president. Both the President of Harmohan Patnaik from Dhenkanal princely state and Nakula Samanta Sinhara from Hindol princely state sprang up in all princely states of India. This was the first Praja Mandal of British India and then Praja Mandals sprang up in all princely states of India as public organizations to resist the practices of the then Rajas and Maharajas.
