The killer of worlds most beautyfull river


Once a very young girl dancing all time with laugh.The Indian Government tided her and killed her by made
of farrakka barrage.A 3km long dam located 10 km from the Indian side of the border between India and Bangladesh, in the state of West Bengal.This is the Padma now making cry the millions poorest persons of Bangladesh.

The Padma River the downstream of the Ganges more precisely, the combined flow of the Ganges and the Jamuna after their confluence at Goalandaghat.. In Bangladesh the Ganges is popularly known as the Padma from its point of entrance at Manakosa and Durlabhpur unions of shibganj upazila, nawabgonj district. This name (Padma or Podda) is sometimes applied to the Ganges as far up as the point at which the Bhagirathi leaves its rightbank, and according to the Hindus, it takes the sanctity of the Ganges with it. It is hydrographically more correct to use the name Ganges to refer to the river up to its confluence with the Jamuna or Brahmaputra and the downstream after the confluence as the Padma. The Padma is also sometimes wrongly referred to as the Ganges. The river between Aricha and Sureshwar (Chandpur) is therefore best called Padma.

look the Padma after farrakka barrage:

The Padma is 120 kilometres long and from 4 to 8 km wide. The very important Goalandaghat-Chandpur steamer route is mostly on this river. Near Tepakhola, 14 km from Goalandaghat, the small Faridpur Khal distributary takes off from the rightbank. Fifty kilometres further down the Arial Khan takes off from the rightbank. Fourteen kilometres further downstream the Lohajang river falls into it at Lohajang upazila on the leftbank, and the Kristanagar river branches off from the opposite side. A few kilometres from Lohajang, the Shosha Khal and the Naria Khal take off from the rightbank, join up and as one stream falls into the Arial Khan south of Madaripur. The Padma joins the Meghna 5 km from Sureshwar in a maze of shifting shoals and new born land from river. The Lower Meghna is actually a continuation of the joint flow of the Padma and the Meghna.

Beauty of The padma:
Beauty of padma is incredible.World famious nobel award winner writer Rabindranath On the 16th May, 1893 wrote in Bangla a letter to Indira Debi, his niece from his Kuthibari in Selaidah, Kushtia: "Often I wonder, will I ever be reborn under this sky studded with so many stars? If yes, will that be the same quiet evening in the same corner of Bangladesh where I could lie back on my cozy bed - satiated and carefree in my jollyboat floating on the placid Gorai river? I will perhaps never again meet this beauty of evening in my reincarnated life. Scenario would be changed. And then will I be in the same frame of mind? Who knows? Well, I might meet many an evening like this, but none of those, I am sure, would be like the tranquil evening that so lovingly alighted upon my chest embracing me with tufts of her dense hair spread out wide!?I am not sure whether any lady from Bangladesh will ever be crowned as a Miss World for her physical beauty. But, if there were a competition for a Mr. World who always visualised a lady in anything - a unpredictable river hurrying fast, an evening looming up or a patch of dark cloud with silvery frills floating in the azure sky - the golden crown would go to Rabindranath Tagore.

The river Padma, to Tagore, was such a lady. Tagore even made his wife Mrinalini's life simply cheerless by his obsession with the river Padma so much so that Mrinalini compelled her husband to leave Selaidah for Calcutta on the excuse of their daughter's impending marriage with the hope that he would never come back to the Padma; after all, no lady wants her husband spending most of his creative time for anything or anybody outside of home. But this crazy guy bounced back to Padma time and again whenever there was a chance he could steal.

The Padma was all in Tagore's life, dream and imagination. He fell in love with Padma when as a child visiting Selaidah he first found the frolicsome river behaving like a whimsical damsel--sometimes quiet, composed and drowsy and at other times restless, furious and hungry. It was in Selaidah, once a silent and remote hamlet, where Rabindranath as an adult first made an eye contact with Padma sleekly dressed in her red-bordered off-white silk 'shari'. All his life Tagore was infatuated with Padma. One year before his death while musing over his bygone days he wrote: "Selaidah with Padma, always skimming and smooching each other, was the only venerable place where first as an adolescent and later as an elderly I immersed myself to drink my literary nectar.?

But Tagore souls also crying now becuse the Indian killed her lady (The Padma) by Farrakka barrage.
