EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intense moment of the Storming of the Fort at Dewangiri during the Bhutan War, also known as the Duar War, in 1865. The British forces, determined to expand their territories in South Asia, launched a military campaign against Bhutan, a small Himalayan kingdom nestled between India and Tibet. The fort at Dewangiri, located in modern-day Deothang, was one of the key strongholds of the Bhutanese resistance. The image portrays the British soldiers, armed with muskets and colored flags, charging forward against the Bhutanese defenders, who stand their ground with shields and spears. Smoke rises from the fort, indicating the intensity of the battle. The clash of arms and the cacophony of war drums fill the air as the two sides engage in hand-to-hand combat. The Bhutan War lasted for five months, and despite initial resistance, Bhutan was ultimately defeated. The fort at Dewangiri was dismantled, marking a significant victory for the British forces. The war had far-reaching consequences, leading to the signing of the Treaty of Sinchula, which formalized British influence over Bhutan and established a British trade agency in the region. This historical print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the annals of South Asian history, providing a vivid reminder of the military campaigns and territorial disputes that once shaped the region. The fort at Dewangiri, now a mere ruin, stands as a testament to the enduring power of history and the indelible mark it leaves on the landscape.
