Description
Doon Rediscovered unfolds its realms to the reader, glorifying the historic past of Dehra Doon before and after the arrival of the East India Company. Wtih the Gurkha invasion the entire region of Garhwal, Khumaon and Dehra Doon succumbed into a lamentable decay, till the advent of the East India Company, when Lord Hasting in 1814 declared war on Nepal. Immensely mesmerised by the idyllic beauty of the Doon, the British at one point of time thought of making it the capital of their India colony.
