The presented research paper describes the Shatha-Pasha tradition that has been going on for centuries in the Mahasuvi region. It depicts the life of Shatha-Pasha. In this, the facts of the impact of the war between Kauravas and Pandavas on Shatha-Pasha have been clarified. The research paper describes the journey of Shatha-Pasha from deep hostility towards each other to the emergence of mutual brotherhood between these two. Research has shown that these Shathads-Pashads reached Mahasuvi area on both sides of the Giri River and gradually their population increased and many Khash Kanat communities came into existence here, in which some Shathad Pashad communities were considered very brave. The four main communities among them have been described in this research paper under the name of four "Gedu Khashiyas". These Shathad-Pashads also used to attack each other and in order to protect themselves from these attacks, they built Tharas. There was a competition between both the groups to capture each other's land; hence there was a great fear of war during that period. Gradually, as awareness increased in the society, efforts were made by the intellectuals to end this animosity between Shatha-Pasha. Khumlis (meetings) were organized at many places in this land of Shatha-Pasha in which the chiefs and deities of both the parties also participated, as a result of which this conflict of Shatha-Pasha gradually came to an end. Now it was decided to present the war of Shathad-Pashad in the form of "Thoda" in Bishu's Jubdi (ground). Here also, for a long time, there was some feeling of animosity between the two parties, but in today's times, the feeling of hatred between the two parties has ended and both the parties play "Thoda" with each other with the feeling of brotherhood.
