Chha Maana Atha Guntha (Odia: ଛ ମାଣ ଆଠ ଗୁଣ୍ଠ, transl. Six Acres and a Third) is a 19th-century Indian novel in the Odia language by Fakir Mohan Senapati (1843–1918), published in an English language translation by the University of California Press. Written long before Russia's October Revolution, it is the first Indian novel to deal with the exploitation of landless peasants by a feudal Lord in British India. Its author is known as the "Father of Modern Odia Literature".[1][2][3]
