Q. Which community says, "Pahan builds a village, Mahato runs it"?
Answer: Oraon
Notes: The Oraon tribe in Jharkhand has a traditional governance structure where the Pahan acts as the village priest establishing the village, while the Mahato serves as the administrative head managing daily affairs. This division of religious and secular roles is characteristic of the Oraon community in the Chotanagpur region. The Santhal, Ho, and Godait tribes have different social and administrative customs. The statement specifically reflects the Oraon village system.
