DIR

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 309 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DIR , an independent state in the North-West Frontier Province of
India
 , lying to the north-
east
  of
Swat
 . Its importance chiefly arises from the fact that it commands the greater
part
  of the route between
Chitral
  and the
Peshawar
  frontier. The quarrels and intrigues between the
khan
  of Dir and Umra
Khan
  of Jandol were among the
chief
  events that led up to the
Chitral
  Campaign of 1895. During that expedition the khan made an agreement with the British Government to keep the road to Chitral open in return for a subsidy. Including the Bashkars, an aboriginal tribe allied to the Torwals and Garhuis, who inhabit Panjkora Kohistan, the
population
  is estimated at about roo,000.
