Paschimbanger Dooars by Shoven Sanyal [Hardcover]

The mere mention of Dooars brings joy to the hearts of travel enthusiasts. Hidden among its rivers, mountains, and forests lies an extraordinary beauty. But is it just beauty? Its history is equally intriguing but, for some unknown reason, has been neglected. This book discusses how the vast archaeological wealth and glorious history of Dooars have been ignored or continue to be ignored. Many forests along the rivers of Dooars were named after the nearby rivers during the British era. As a result, any ancient local names that might have existed were lost after the British came to power. Field surveys might help recover some of these ancient names, saving them from eternal neglect or being lost to time. This book sheds light on that overlooked chapter of Dooars.
