Bhairab

Bhairab és un antic riu de Bengala avui a Bengala Occidental (Índia) i a Bangladesh, que després es va convertir en canal. Era una derivació del Ganges sorgida a Mahananda. Corria pels districtes de Murshidabad, Nadia (Bengala Occidental), Jessore i Khulna (Bangladesh) fins a desaiguar a la badia de Bengala. Fou interceptat i tallat en tres part pels rius Jalangi i Matabhanga. El curs superior es va omplir d'arena però va quedar obert altre cop per les inundacions del 1874 i va esdevenir un distributari que portava aigua al Jalangi. En el curs inferior ja a Bangladesh el corrent principal es va separar del Kabadak, inicialment només una derivació secundària però es va omplir d'arena i va esdevenir una zona de maresmes a Jessore encara que més tard el riu torna a recuperar-se i s'uneix al Madhumati en part i la resta passa al Rupsa per un estuari separat fins a la mar. El seu nom vol dir "el terrible". Referències Wilson Hunter, Sir William; Sutherland Cotton, James; Sir Richard Burn, Sir William Stevenson Meyer. Great Britain India Office.

Bhairab (Fluss)

Der Bhairab (bengalisch ভৈরব) ist ein ca. 160 km langer und etwa 100 bis 200 m breiter Fluss im Gangesdelta in Indien und Bangladesch; an seinen Ufern liegen die Städte Jessore und Khulna sowie die Historische Moscheenstadt Bagerhat. Verlauf Der Bhairab bildet einen Abzweig des Jalangi; später bildet er zusammen mit dem Atrai den Fluss Rupsha. Weblinks Bhairab – Kurzinfos (Banglapedia, englisch) Einzelnachweise
Bhairab River

The Bhairab (Bengali: ভৈরব নদী) is a river in south-western Bangladesh, a distributary of the Ganges. It passes through Khulna, dividing the city into two parts. Bhairab River originates from Tengamari border of Meherpur District and passes through Jessore city. The river is near about 160 kilometres (100 mi) long and 91 metres (300 ft) wide. Its average depth is 1.2 to 1.5 metres (4 to 5 ft) and with minimal water flow, it has plenty of silt. Early history The Bhairab, which is considered to be of older origin than its parent river the Jalangi, takes off from that river a few miles north of Karimpur near Akheriganj at Bhagwangola (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in Murshidabad district (in West Bengal). After a tortuous course towards the south, it turns to the east forming the boundary between Meherpur P.S. (Bangladesh) and Karimpur (India) for a little distance. It then turns south, flowing past Meherpur town to the south and loses itself in the Mathabhanga close to the east of Kapashdanga. Its intake from the Jalangi having silted up, this river has been practically dead since long. The poor climate of Meherpur, which lies along its banks, is in great measure attributed to the stagnancy of its water. Geography Bhairab River has two main branches, the Khulna-Ichamati and the Kobadak. The Khulna-Ichamati forms part of the border between Bangladesh and India. The towns of Khulna and Jessore are situated on the bank of the river. The development of their settlements and culture were influenced by the river. The Rupsa River is formed from the Bhairab and the Atrai River, and flows into the Pasur River. References External links Chowdhury, Masud Hasan (2012). "Bhairab River".

Río Bhairab

El río Bhairab (en bengalí: ভৈরব নদী) es un río en el suroeste de Bangladés, un distributario del Ganges.​ Pasa por Khulna, dividiendo la ciudad en dos partes. El río Bhairab se origina en la frontera de Tengamari del distrito de Meherpur y pasa por la ciudad de Jessore.​ El río tiene aproximadamente 160,9 km de largo y 91,4 m de ancho. Su profundidad promedio es de 1,2 a 1,5 m y con un flujo de agua mínimo, tiene mucho limo.​ Historia El Bhairab, que se considera de origen más antiguo que su río padre, el Jalangi, sale de ese río en un punto, unas pocas millas al norte de Karimpur, cerca de Akheriganj en Bhagwangola (distrito electoral de Vidhan Sabha) en el distrito de Murshidabad (en Bengala Occidental) . Después de un curso tortuoso hacia el sur, gira hacia el este formando la línea fronteriza entre Meherpur PS (Bangladés) y Karimpur (India) por una corta distancia y luego gira hacia el sur entrando en Meherpur PS pasando por la ciudad de Meherpur hacia el sur y se pierde en el Mathabhanga cerca del este de Kapashdanga. Su toma del Jalangi se llenó de sedimentos, por lo que este río ha estado prácticamente muerto desde hace mucho tiempo. El mal clima de Meherpur, que se encuentra en sus orillas, se atribuye en gran medida al estancamiento de sus aguas. Geografía El río Bhairab tiene dos brazos principales, el Khulna-Ichamati y el Kobadak. El Khulna-Ichamati forma un límite entre Bangladés y la India. Las ciudades de Khulna y Jessore están situadas a orillas del río.​ El desarrollo de sus asentamientos y cultura estuvieron influenciados por el río. El río Rupsa está formado por el Bhairab y el río Atai, y desemboca en el río Pasur.​ Referencias

Bhawal Estate

Bhawal Estate was a large zamindari in Bengal (in modern-day Gazipur, Bangladesh) until it was abolished according to East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act of 1950. History In the late 17th century, Daulat Ghazi was the zamindar of the Ghazi estate of Bhawal. Bala Ram was Diwan of Daulat Ghazi. In 1704, as the consequence of change in the policy of revenue collection, Bala Ram's son Sri Krishna was installed as the zamindar of Bhawal by Murshid Quli Khan. Since then, through acquisitions the zamindari expanded. The family turned into the proprietor of the whole Bhawal pargana after purchasing the zamindari of J. Wise, an indigo grower for Rs 4,46,000. In 1878, British Raj conferred Raja title to Zamindar Kalinarayan Roy Chowdhury. His son Raja Rajendra Narayan Roy Chowdhury extended the zamindari. Rajendra was married to Rani Bilasmani Devi. They had 3 daughters - Indumayi, Jyotirmayi and Tarinmayi, and 3 sons - Ranendra Narayan, Ramendra Narayan and Rabindra Narayan. Writer Kaliprosanna Ghosh was appointed the Dewan of Bhawal Estate for Rajendra Narayan. Rajendra died in 1901. Area The estate comprised over 1,500 square kilometer, which included 2,274 villages and around 55,000 villagers. Its biggest establishment is the Bhawal Rajbari palace. Temple and shmashana (cremating area) are situated to the south of the palace. Popular culture In the early 20th century, a well-known legal case took place involving Ramendra Narayan Roy of the Bhawal zamindar family, which became known as the Bhawal Sannyasi case. The Bengali film Sannyasi Raja, starring actor Uttam Kumar, was based on this historical event and gained significant popularity. Additionally, filmmaker Srijit Mukherji directed Ek Je Chhilo Raja, which depicted the disappearance, return, and subsequent legal proceedings related to the Bhawal Sannyasi case. References

Bhawal-Nationalpark

i3i6 Der Bhawal-Nationalpark (bengalisch ভাওয়াল জাতীয় উদ্যান Bhā'ōẏāla jātīẏa udyāna) liegt in Bangladesch in der Division Dhaka innerhalb des Distrikts Gazipur etwa 40 km nördlich der Hauptstadt Dhaka. Er ist einer von 18 Nationalparks in Bangladesch und eines der am stärksten bedrohten und schrumpfenden Schutzgebiete des Landes, da die Urbanisierung und Industrialisierung im Parkgebiet illegal stark voranschreitet. Geschichte und Geographie Während des Bangladesch-Kriegs in 1971 wurde der Baumbestand zu großen Teilen gefällt. Der Park wurde 1974 ausgewiesen und 1982 unter dem Bangladesh Wildlife Act 1974 zum Nationalpark erklärt. Dieser hat eine offizielle Fläche von 50,22 km², mit angrenzenden Waldflächen sind es etwa 100 km². Das Parkgebiet unterteilt sich in eine geschützte Kernzone von 9,5 km² und eine Pufferzone, die auch landwirtschaftlich genutzt wird. Die Topographie ist von niedrigen Hügeln geprägt, die 3 bis 5 m aus den umgebenden Reisfeldern herausragen. Der jährliche Gesamtniederschlag liegt bei rund 250 cm und die Temperaturen reichen von 10 bis 37 °C. Zahlreiche Besucher aus der Hauptstadt Dhaka besuchen vor allem in der Trockenzeit den Park. In 2012 und 2013 waren es über 300.000 Besucher und über 200.000 in den Jahren 2014 und 2015. Flora und Fauna Die dominierende Baumart ist der Salbaum (Salwald). Das für die Verwaltung des Parks zuständige Umwelt- und Forstministerium pflanzte zudem zur Aufforstung nicht heimische, aber schnell wachsende Baumarten wie Akazien und Eukalyptus sowie einige Früchte tragende einheimische Bäume nahe Rasthäusern, die größeren Nutzen für die Vögel und Biodiversität haben. Im Park häufig anzutreffende Baumarten sind unter anderem die Rosenbaumapfelart Dillenia pentagyna, das Topffruchtbaumgewächs Careya arborea, die Myrobalane Terminalia belerica, Gandhi gajari und das Annonengewächs Miliusa velutura. Innerhalb des Parks wurden insgesamt 146 Vogelarten beobachtet. Viele größere Tierarten wie Tiger, Nebelparder, Leoparden, Kragenbären, Sambar, Pfaue, Wildschweine und Asiatische Elefanten sind aus dem Park verschwunden. Die verbliebenen Säugetiere umfassen beispielsweise den Goldschakal, den Bengalfuchs und die Kleine Indische Zibetkatze. Zu den vorkommenden Reptilienarten zählt der Bengalenwaran (potentiell gefährdet), der Helle Tigerpython (potentiell gefährdet) und die Gewöhnliche Fischnatter sowie zu den Amphibienarten die Ruderfroschart Polypedates maculatus, Hoplobatrachus tigerinus und Limnonectes limnocharis.
