Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dooar (or Duār) War of 1864-65 began as an attempt by the authorities in British India to annex from Bhutan the territory known as Duārs in order to stop what they claimed were incursions into India from Bhutan. David Field Rennie, who participated in the conflict as a military surgeon, wrote this book on his four-month voyage back to England. Bhutan, which is located at the eastern end of the Himalaya mountain range, was at that time one of the world's most isolated countries. Rennie's intention was to make Bhutan and its people better known in Europe. His work contains an account of the war and observations on the geography, history, people, and languages of the country. As a consequence of the war, Bhutan was forced to cede Duārs to British India. Duārs now constitutes a portion of the states of Assam and West Bengal in India. The book contains a large-scale foldout map of Bhutan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bhotan and the Story of the Dooar War There is probably no country in the world that, until within the present year, has been less a subject of interest than Bhotan, and as a natural consequence, probably no one, that there is less generally known about. In fact, it may be said without exaggeration, that, until recently, comparatively few but those who made Asiatic geography a special study ever heard its name. Nevertheless, hidden as Bhotan has been from public notice, a great deal of official information has been on record about it, and from its proximity to the north-eastern frontier of our possessions in India, the Government of that country has had frequent troubles with it; the earliest of which dates as far back as the year 1772.

Download or read book Britain and Tibet 1765 1947 written by Julie G. Marshall and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in the period 1765 to 1947. As such it also involves British relations with Russia and China, and with the Himalayan states of Ladakh, Lahul and Spiti, Kumaon and Garhwal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Assam, in so far as British policy towards these states was affected by her desire to establish relations with Tibet. It also covers a subject of some importance in contemporary diplomacy. It was the legacy of unresolved problems concerning Tibet and its borders, bequeathed to India by Britain in 1947, which led to border disputes and ultimately to war between India and China in 1962. These borders are still in dispute today. It also provides background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue of current importance. The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections, based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of the period and place the books and article in their historical context. Most entries are also annotated. This work is therefore both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of international relations and military history as well as Asian history.
