Dooars
The Dooars are the floodplains and foothills
of the eastern Himalayas in North-East India
around Bhutan. Duar means 'door' in
Assamese, Bengali, Nepali, Maithili, Bhojpuri,
Magahi and Telugu languages, and the region
forms the gateway to Bhutan from India.[1]
There are 18 passages or gateways through
which the Bhutanese people can
communicate with the people living in the
plains. This region is divided by the Sankosh
river into the Eastern and the Western
Dooars, consisting of an area of 8,800 km
(3,400 sq mi). The Western Dooars is known
as the Bengal Dooars and the Eastern Dooars
as the Assam Dooars. Dooars is synonymous

The
Dooars
belonged

to

the Kamata Kingdom under the Koch dynasty; and taking

advantage of the weakness of the Koch kingdom in
subsequent times, Bhutan took possession of the Dooars.
This region was controlled by the kingdom of Bhutan when
the British annexed it in 1865 after the Bhutan War under
the command of Captain Hedayat Ali. The area was divided
into two parts: the eastern part was merged with Goalpara
district in Assam and the western part was turned into a
new district named Western Dooars. Again in the year
1869, the name was changed to Jalpaiguri District. After
the end of the British rule in India in 1947, the Dooars
acceded into the dominion of India and it merged with the
Union of India shortly afterwards in 1949.

The Dooars is a large region and is dotted with many

towns and
cities. The
largest city in
the whole
region
stretching
from the
Darjeeling
foothills to the
Arunachal
Pradesh
foothills is
Siliguri. This
northern
Bengal city is well connected with the rest of country by
road, air and railway and is the business hub of the
region.

The other major cities are Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon,

Goalpara, Barpeta and Dhubri in Assam. Cooch
Behar, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, Malbazar, Mainaguri
and Birpara are the major cities of the Dooars in
West Bengal. Also, the commercial capital of
Bhutan, Phuentsholing, near Jaigaon, can be
considered a part of this region.

The
economy of
Dooars is
based on
three "T"s
Tea, Tourism
and Timber.
The main
industry of
the Dooars
region is the
tea industry.
Thousands
of
people are
engaged in
the tea estates and factories. Several people
are also engaged in the cultivation of
bettlenuts which also contributes to the
economy. Cultivation of other crops is done
mainly for local consumption.
THE AREA IS DOTTED BY SEVERAL NATIONAL PARKS AND
WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES WHICH ATTRACT A LOT OF
TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER INDIA AND ABROAD, MAKING IT
AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR TO THE ECONOMY AND
ALSO EMPLOYER OF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

The timber industry, both legally and illegally,

flourishes in this region. A number of saw mills,

plywood industries and other allied business also act

as an important contributor to the economy.

THE DOOARS ACT AS DOORWAYS TO BHUTAN; THUS, THE

EXPORT-IMPORT INDUSTRY ALSO FLOURISHES IN THE
AREA. THE TOWNS OF JAIGAON, SILIGURI AND
PHUENTSHOLING ARE IMPORTANT HUBS OF THE EXPORTIMPORT INDUSTRY.

As the region is near the international borders of Bhutan,

Nepal and Bangladesh, the Border Security Force (BSF),
the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Indian army and
Indian Air Force maintain a large presence in the area.
This leads to a large population of semi-permanent
residents who bring money into the local economy.

Dooars derives its flavor from tea.The multi-ethnic

composition of Dooars, the variety of its languages and
the undulating green carpet landscape which soothes the
travelers eyes has their roots in Tea. Tea garden with
high quality tea production is on sale at Dooars.
Tea cultivation in the North Bengal had started off about
120 to 150 years ago in Dooars region. Nowadays North
Bengal has bumped into a new concept i.e. tea tourism. The
lushy green carpet attracts a huge number of tourist and
business personalities. Tea production at Dooars had
achieved a huge rate benefiting the owners with large scale
profit.
