Tangail District
Encyclopedia
Tangail is a district
(zilla) in central region of Bangladesh
. It is a part of the Dhaka division. The population of Tangail zilla is about 3.2 million and its surface area is 3,414.39 km². The main town of Tangail District is the district town Tangail
. It is surrounded by the several districts, such as Jamalpur district
on the north, the Dhaka
and Manikganj districts
on the south, the Mymensingh
and Gazipur districts
on the east, and the Sirajganj district
on the west. The main rivers that cross the Tangail district are the Jamuna, Dhaleshwari, Jhenai, Bangshi, Louhajang
, Langulia, Elongjani, Jugni, Fotikjani and the Turag.
). The name of the upuzilas are: Tangail Sadar, Sakhipur, Basail, Madhupur, Ghatail, Kalihati, Nagarpur, Mirzapur, Gopalpur, Delduar, Bhuapur and Dhanbari.
the mighty river Jamuna
, which is no where less than 4 miles
wide during the rainy season. The Dhaleswari, first an old
channel of the Ganges and then of the Brahmaputra, cuts
across the south-western comer of the district on its powerful
sweep to join the Meghna near Narayanganj. The old, name of
Dhaleswari was "Gajghata". It used to flow afterwards by the
Salimabad Channel and then at last by Porabari Channell.
A part of the eastern boundary of the district runs close to
the Banar river. The river Bangshi flows almost down the
middle of the district, branching out from the old Brahmaputta
to the north from near Jamalpur
. Bangshi falls into Dhaleswari
near Savar, in Dhaka
district. The Bangshi forms a natural
barrier to the Madhupur Jungle on the Tangail side, all the
way from Madhupur to Mirzapur
. It is only fordable at
two or three places near Basail on its my to river Meghna.
Dhaleswari itself however takes out from the Jamuna from
inside Tangail district.
Among otter important rivers of the district, Lohajang is
worth mentioning. It flows past the district Headquarters of
Tangail and is almost dead at present (in moribwid conwtion),
Other rivers are Khiru, Nanglai Nadi, Atai, and Jhinai, The
old Brahmaputra's most important off-shoot is the Jhinai;
striking off near Jamalpur it rejoins the Jamuna north of
Sarishabari, while another branch flows past Gopalpur. Now
these Sub-systems of rivers, viz, Bangshi and Banar, and the
Lohajang, Khiru, Nangtai Nadi, Atia and Jhinai are all dying
out because of the shift of the old Brahmaputra river from its
former channel to the present Jamuna channel.
The most important question in connection with the river
system of Tangail vis-a-vis Mymensingh district, is, when and
why, the Bmbmaputra river changed its main old channel
During the last 150 years or so, this diversion of the old
Brahmaputra to its present Jamuna channel, has considerably
prompted the geographers and the geologists as well to enquire
deep into it. Two theories are advanced. As explanation of
the diversion, one theory describes the gradua1 uplift of the
Madhupur
Tract and a final trigger action of the Teesta diversion in 1787 as the chief factor; and the other theory states
that the Brahmaputra diversion resulted directly from a major
increase in its volume of water due to beheading of the Tsangpo
river of Tibet by Dihang, a tributary of the then small Brahmaputral. It has now been proved that the great Tibetan river
Tsangpo joined the Brahmaputra about 1780 and this accession
was more important than the Teesta floods in deciding the
Brahmaputra to try a shorter way to the sea.
With the help of Major James Rennel's maps (1764 to 1773)
and of the Revenue Survey it is possible to reconstruct the
history of the Bengal Delta and its river systems. It was Rennel
who carried out the first ever accurate cadestral surveys and
laid the basis for the geographical study of Bengal.
At the end of the 18th century probably as a result of the
great Tista floods in 1787, the Brahmaputra changed its course
and joined the Padma at Goulundo. It should be noted here
that no piece-meal study of an intricate river system is possible,
without distortion and inadequacy.
Even though we assume that the change in the course of
the main waters of the old Brahmaputra took place suddenly
in 1787, the year of the famous flooding of the Teesta river, it
should be taken note of, that the Teesta has been always
a wandering river, sometimes joining the Ganges, sometimes being
shifted oastwards by the superior strength of the river Ganges
and forced. to join the Brahmaputra at last.
Whatever might have been the cause, it is obvious that by
1830, the diversion of old Brahmaputra was complete, ushering
in a gradual but radical change in the river system of the
Tangail district. The old channel of the Brahmaputra had been
reduced to its present insignificance1.
In 1850 Sir Joseph Hooker wrote "we are surprised to hear
that within the last 20 years the main channel of Brahmaputra
had shifted its course westwards, its eastern channel silted up
so rapidly that the Jamuna eventually became the principal
stream.
