India history and geography
Dhor refers to one the twelve kingdoms (thams) of Magarat, the ancient homeland of the Magars, the Tibeto-Burman ethnic group native to Nepal and Northeast India.—The Magars are one of the oldest known tribes in Nepal. Their ancient homeland was known as Magwar Bisaya, later called Magarat. This region bordered from Marsyangdi river to the Pyuthan area during that time. The Magars prospered at such a level during that period that this part of the country was divided into twelve kingdoms (e.g., Dhor)—each under its own ruler—the members of each supposedly being of common extraction in the male line.
Dhor refers to one of the Chaubise or “twenty-four principalities (hill states) of ancient Nepal”.—Following successive waves of the Muslim invasion of India launched by Mohammed of Ghanzi c. A.D. 999, immigrant Hindu chiefs from Rajasthan are said to have made their way into the hill areas of western Nepal. Over a period of time they carved out principalities for themselves and their progeny in the area which was largely inhabited by various indigenous tribes. Those principalities in the Gandaki region of central Nepal [e.g., Dhor] were known as the Chaubise. Most of these kingdoms lay entirely in the hills, but a few of them had land either in the tarai, the lowland plains adjoining what is now Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
