Explanation

The Bengal Duars (also called Duars) were ceded by Bhutan to British India after the Anglo-Bhutan War of 1864-65 (often referenced as 1863 when hostilities began). The Duars are the foothills of the Himalayas between Assam and Bengal. Tarai is the lowland region south of the Himalayan foothills, Brahmaputra Valley is in Assam, and Assam Himalaya is the mountain range itself.
