Doab definition

Doab is a Persian word which means ‘two waters’. The land between two rivers was named doab by the Mughals. The doabs were given names compounded from those of their confining streams. For example, the doab between the Ravi and Chenab rivers is called “Rechna” and similarly the land between the Jhelum and Chenab rivers is called Jech. Thus each doab has two bet lands along the rivers, and one bar area in the middle.
