520			_aDrawing upon official and local Indian sources, translations of Bhutanese sources, colonial records, oral history reports and field reports, this article aims to outline a connected history of a frontier region called Duars, and its role as Indo-Bhutan borderland during the pre-colonial period. The article highlights the need to rethink and interrogate how human history has been conventionally written by opening up the possibility of engaging with sacred/divine periods in the regional historical narratives and oral accounts that throws light on the nature and evolution of political and social formations of an ecoregion such as Duars.-Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00194646251415056?_gl=1*flbgdy*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTIyMDkwMDAxLjE 3ODA5MTM1OTg.*_ga_60R758KFDG*czE3ODA5MTM1OTckbzEkZzEkdDE3ODA5MTM2MTEkajQ2JGwxJGgzODAxNTI2NjE.
