Etymology

Dehradun is made up of two words Dehra and doon. 'Dehra' is derived from the

word "dera", meaning camp, and "doon" is a term for the valley that lies between

the Himalayas and the "Shivaliks". When Guru Ram Rai, son ofGuru Har Rai,

came to this region along with his followers, he established a camp here for their

stay. It was around this time that the modern city of Dehradun started to develop.

This is when the word Dehra was linked to doon, and thus the city was named

Dehradun.[5]Some historians also believe that the word Dehra cannot be regarded

as a term for camping.[6]

[edit]History

Princely flag ofKingdom of Garhwal. Dehradun was part of the princely state of

Garhwal before becoming part of British India postAnglo-Nepalese warin 1816.

The history of the capital ofUttarakhand, Dehradun (sometimes written as Dehra

Doon, nicknamed "Doon Valley") is linked to the story

ofRamayanaandMahabharata. It is believed that after the battle

betweenRavanandLord Ram, Lord Ram and his brotherLaxmanvisited this

site.Dronacharya, the legendary royal guru to theKauravasandPandavasin the

epicMahabharatais also believed to have been born and resided in

Dehradun.[7]Evidence such as ancient temples and idols have been found in the

areas surrounding Dehradun which have been linked to the mythology

ofRamayanaandMahabharata. These relics and ruins are believed to be around

2000 years old. Furthermore, the location, the local traditions and the literature

reflect this region's links with the events of Mahabharata and Ramayana. Even

after the battle ofMahabharata, thePandavashad influence on this region as the

rulers ofHastinapuralong with the descendants ofSubahuruled the region as

subsidiaries. Likewise,Rishikeshis also mentioned in the pages of history

whenLord Vishnuanswered the prayers of the saints, slaughtered the demons and

handed the land to the saints.

In the seventh century this area was known as Sudhnagar and was described by the

Chinese traveler Huen Chang. It was Sudhnagar that later came to be recognised as

the name of Kaalsi.Edicts of Ashokahave been found in the region along the

banks of riverYamunain Kaalsi indicating the wealth and importance of the

of the Indian territories now fell underNepalsuch asAlmora, Phatankot,Kumaon,

company. The British got Dehradun in 1816 and

colonisedLandourandMussooriein 1827-1828.

Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, was quite fond of the city and often

visited the city and spent his last few days here before passing away in Delhi in

1964.[8]Another leader from the independence movement,Rash Behari Bose, who

was one of the key organisers of theGhadar conspiracyand later, theIndian

National Armywas based in Dehradun in his early days before he was forced to

move to Japan in 1915 to continue the freedom struggle.
