Said to be one of the oldest citites in India, it is
believed that lord Rama and his brother did penance here
for killing Ravana, the demon king. During the 17th and
18th centuries Dehradun changed hands several times: Guru
Ram Rai retreated here from Punjab, the Mughal Governor
Najib-ud- Daula occupied it from 1757-1770 and the Gorkhas
overran it on their westward expansion before ceding it to
the British in 1815. Under the British, Dehradun became an
elite town with many a fine institution like Forest
Research Institute, Doon and Welham Schools, Many more,
like the ONGC and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Studies,
were added in time. Dehradun has now become an important
tourist destination |
