'''Bagar''', also '''Bagad''', a term meaning the "dry country",<ref name=bagartribune1>Nonica Datta, [http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99jul03/saturday/head1.htm "Forming an identity"], [[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]], 3 July 1999.</ref> is a reference to a region in north-western [[India]] in north [[Rajasthan]], West [[Haryana]], south-west [[Punjab]], India where the [[Bagri language]] is spoken and which is inhabited by the [[Bagri people]]. The region is characterised by sandy tracks and shifting sand dunes which are now irrigated by canals.<ref name="HarRev">{{Cite web |url=http://revenueharyana.gov.in/html/gazeteers/revised_settlement_hisar.pdf |title=Revised Land and Revenue Settlement of Hisar District 9006-9011 |access-date=26 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170517124050/http://revenueharyana.gov.in/html/gazeteers/revised_settlement_hisar.pdf |archive-date=17 May 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Etymology ==
Bagar means the [[prairie]] (grazing shrubs and grassland) of northern [[Rajputana]],<ref name=etymology1>Elaine King,1998, Tales & legends of India, Page 61.</ref> which likely comes from [[eponymous]] Arabic word "baqar" or "bagar" (بقرة) meaning "cow" ([[Cattle in religion and mythology#Hinduism|sacred to Hindus]]),<ref name=etymology3>2002, Abubakar Garba, "State, city and society: processes of urbanisation", University of Maiduguri – Centre for Trans Saharan Studies, Archaeological Association of Nigeria, Page 82.</ref> derived from the Arabic word "cattle".<ref name=etymology5 /><ref name=etymology2>Mohamet Lawan, 1997, No travel is little, Page 66.</ref> ''[[Baggara]]'' in Arabic means "cattle herders".<ref name=etymology5>Deepak Kumar Behera, [[Georg Pfeffer]], 2002, The concept of tribal society, Page 284.</ref><ref name=etymology4>Jemera Rone, Brian Owsley, Human Rights Watch/Africa, 1996, Behind the Red Line: Political Repression in Sudan, Page 274.</ref> Bagar tract refers to the [[Semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] semi-fertile [[Rainfed agriculture|rain-fed]] sandy [[Grassland#Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands ecoregions|shrubby grassland]] tract at the confluence of [[arid]] [[Thar Desert]] and fertile [[Khadir and Bangar|bangar and khadir]] areas of [[Indo-Gangetic Plain]], which as historically inhabited by the cattle herders who remained semi-nomadic until they began to adapt to settled life in the [[Medieval India|mid to late Medieval Period]]. Before the adoption of the Arabic name bagar, the area was earlier known as [[Jangladesh]] during the [[Vedic era]] of [[Mahabharata]] and even in early medieval times at least until the end of Hindu reign of [[Prithviraj Chauhan]].

== Bagar tracts ==
Bagar (Hindi: बागड़) region is characterised by Bagar tracts which are long strips of shifting sand dunes called ''tibba'' ('''टिब्बा''') and [[Khadir and Bangar|relatively semi-fertile lands]] and the area between them is called ''lal'' ('''लाळ''') in northern districts of [[Rajasthan]] and along the northwestern districts of [[Haryana]].<ref name="Census1961">{{Cite book |last=India.

L. |date=1965 |publisher=[Chandigarh] : Govt. of Punjab |others=University of California Libraries}}</ref>

== Geography ==
The Bagar region has potentially very fertile [[alluvial soil]] interspersed with highly [[Permeability (earth sciences)|permeable]] very sandy tracts in several places with [[water table]] more than 100 feet below ground containing [[brackish water]] usually unfit for human consumption, where [[dust storm]]s frequent during the warm summer months from April till the end of July when [[monsoon]] arrives.

Previously, the drinking water availability in the Bagar tract was solely based on the rain & wells and irrigation was possible only in the small areas of Ghaggar basin of Bagar region in districts of Fatehabad, Sirsa, Hanumangarh, Sri Ganganagar and Anupgarh where the seasonal [[Ghaggar river]] flows.

Earlier [[Western Yamuna Canal]] and after 1963 [[Bhakra Nangal Dam]] canal system provides the water for irrigation in most of Haryana including all of the Bagar region falling in Haryana on its western border.

The [[Ganga canal]] in 1927 and in 1984 [[Indira Gandhi Canal]] irrigation also known as Rajasthan Canal brought the water of [[Sutlej]] and [[Beas]] rivers to the fields of Rajasthan including its Bagar tract, stabilizing the sand dunes and soil erosion by preventing the expansion of desert.<ref name=bag1>E. Walter Coward, 1980, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0801498716 "Irrigation and Agricultural Development in Asia: Perspectives from the social sciences"], [[Cornell University]] press, page 302, {{ISBN|0801498716}}.</ref><ref name="Census1961" />

'''Geographically, the Bagar region lies between the:'''
*[[Malwa (Punjab)|Malwa, Punjab]] to the north,
*The [[Shekhawati region]] and the [[Marwar]] region of Rajasthan to the south.
*The Aravali Range to the southeast in the [[Charkhi Dadri]] district & [[Tosham]] tehsil of [[Bhiwani district]],
*[[Ahirwal]] region of Haryana also in the southeast.
*The eastern border in bounded to the Haryanavi speaking region of haryana.
*In the west of Bagar region lies the '''Rohi(रोई)/[[Cholistan desert]]''' in [[Pakistan]]'s [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]] province, with a few Bagri speakers in Pakistan's [[Bahawalpur district|Bahawalpur]] and [[Bahawalnagar district|Bahawalnagar]] districts.
