Dewal

Thought for 18s

Nice — Dewal is a common village name in northern India, so I did an initial sweep and pulled together what’s already published (census / village directories / district pages) plus a practical plan for how to collect the deeper material you asked for (histories, interviews, art, agriculture, testimonials, etc.). Below you’ll find: (A) quick discoveries — several distinct “Dewal” villages and basic population / location facts, with sources; (B) what I can and can’t do about the field work you asked for; and (C) a clear next-step plan + ready-to-use interview / testimonial templates so you or I can start collecting stories.

A — Multiple villages named “Dewal” (quick summary & sources)

I found several different villages called Dewal in India (different districts/states). Here are the most relevant ones I found and their 2011 census / directory population entries:

Dewal — Billawar / Kathua district, Jammu & Kashmir — large village: population ~2,042 (381 families) as per village directory/census listing.
