DWARS

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 740 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DWARS , a
tract
  of country in north-
east
  India. It consists of two divisions, the Western Dwars and the Eastern Dwars, both of which belonged to
Bhutan
  prior to the
Bhutan
  War of 1864-65, as a result of which they passed into possession of the British, when the Eastern Dwars were assigned to
Assam
  and the Western to
Bengal
 . Since 1905 both divisions have been in the province of Eastern
Bengal
  and
Assam
 . The five Eastern Dwars, entitled respectively Bijni, Sidli, Chirang, Ripu and Guma, are situated in the
Goalpara
 
district
  of Eastern Bengal and Assam, forming a strip of flat country lying beneath the Bhutan mountains. It is an unhealthy country for natives as well as Europeans, and is but slightly
developed
 . The Western Dwars form a region lying at the foot of the Himalayas in the north-
east
  of the Jalpaiguri
district
  of Eastern Bengal and Assam, which comprises nine parganas, namely, Bhalka, Bhatibari, Baxa, Chakao-
Kshattriya
 , Madari, Lakshmipur, Maraghat, lvIainaguri and Chengmari. The Western Dwars are an important centre of the tea-planting industry.
