About The Dangs

Dang is a district in the southeast part of Gujarat, India, with Ahwa as its administrative center. Covering an area of 1,764 km2, it had a population of 228,291 in 2011, making it the least populous district in Gujarat. According to the Planning Commission, Dang is among the most economically challenged of India’s 640 districts. A significant 94% of its residents belong to scheduled tribes. Unique to Dang are its five Kings, who are the only hereditary royals in India with titles still recognized by the government, stemming from an agreement made with the Indian government in 1842.

History:

The five Royal Bhil Kings of Dangs, unique as India’s only remaining hereditary monarchs, historically fought against the British Company. After their biggest battle at ‘Lashkaria Amba’, a 1842 treaty allowed the British to use forest resources in exchange for a payment to the kings. Today, these kings still receive a government pension, a tradition maintained since privy purses were abolished in 1970. Annually during Holi, they gather in Ahwa for a ceremony to receive this payment, marked by cultural festivities. The Dangs, historically known as ‘Danda Aranyaka’ or ‘Bamboo forest’, now face challenges with illegal logging, prompting the kings to seek government intervention.

Geography:

Dang District includes part of a forest area that extends to the Purna Wildlife Sanctuary, spanning both Dang and Tapi districts in Gujarat and Nandurbar District in Maharashtra. It also connects to Vansda National Park in Navsari District, which shares forest land with Valsad district.

In 1991, the rusty-spotted cat was spotted for the first time in Shoolpaneshwar Wildlife Sanctuary. In the Purna and Ratanmahal Wildlife Sanctuaries, eight bird species, such as the Indian grey hornbill and jungle bush quail, are now locally extinct.
