like all small birds are 'sparrow' same way anything black is 'crow'

i have mentioned all the names in local language as well as its scientific name

All of the crows and ravens seem to have evil reputations.....I have never seen a golden crow...ours are black here....with black eyes, but otherwise look very similar.

The bird is associated with many superstitions and beliefs. The deep calls are associated with spirits and omens.
In British India, it was noted that new-recruits to India often mistook it for a pheasant and shot it to find it "evil flavoured" giving it the nickname of "Griff's pheasant".
Local names include Mahoka in Hindi; Punjabi: Kamadi kukkar; Bengali: Kubo Assamese: Kukoo sorai, Kukuha sorai, Dabahi kukuha; Cachar: Dao di dai; Manipuri: Nongkoubi; Gujarati: Hokko, Ghoyaro, Ghumkiyo; Kutch: Hooka; Marathi: Bharadwaj, Kumbhar kaola, Kukkudkumbha, Sonkawla; Oriya: Dahuka; Tamil: Kalli kaka, Chembakam; Telugu: Jemudu kaki, Chemara, Mahoka kaki, Samba kaki; Malayalam: Uppan, Chemboth; Kannada: Kembootha; and Sinhalese: Atti kukkula, Bu kukkula
The flesh was once eaten as a folk cure for tuberculosis and pulmonary ailments In parts of western and southern India, it is believed that the nest include a special life-giving "grass" that can be found by throwing the nest material into a stream, where the supposedly magical material would separate and flow against the current.
