CHAPTER TWO THE ORIGINS OF THE MRAUK U KINGDOM (1430 – 1593) The sixteenth century saw the rise to power in south-eastern Bengal of the Arakanese kingdom. At the same time the Mughals entered Bengal from the northwest and came into contact with the Arakanese. The arrival of the Mughals and the Arakanese in Bengal would spark a conflict between both parties for control over the economic heart of Bengal situated around Dhaka and Sripur. The war over Bengal would last for approximately ninety years. Starting in the early fifteenth century this Chapter describes the origins of the Mrauk U kingdom and the beginnings of the Ninety Years’ War. 2.1 The early years of the Mrauk U kingdom From the third decade of the fifteenth century the Arakanese kings of Mrauk U extended their hold over the Arakanese littoral. The coastal areas and the major islands Ramree and Cheduba were slowly brought under their control.1 During the sixteenth century successive Arakanese kings were able to gain control over the most important entrepôt of Bengal, Chittagong.

  • 1. Introduction
    Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

  • Survey on Major Diseases of Vegetable and Fruit Crops in Chittagong Region
    ISSN 0258-7122 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 35(3) : 423-429, September 2010 SURVEY ON MAJOR DISEASES OF VEGETABLE AND FRUIT CROPS IN CHITTAGONG REGION M. T. HOSSAIN1, S. M. M. HOSSAIN2, M. A. BAKR3 A. K. M. MATIAR RAHMAN4 AND S. N. UDDIN5 Abstract A survey was conducted during October 2006 to June 2008 to observe disease prevalence of vegetable and fruit crops in Chittagong region. Through the survey, 24 diseases with their incidence and severity were recorded. The average higher leaf infection in early blight of potato and fruit infection in soft rot of potato were recorded 37% and 39%, respectively. The highest leaf infection (43%) of early blight of tomato that was more frequented (mode) 36% in different locations with ±0.45% ranges (Standard error) for causing the disease as recorded at Sadar Anwara upazila of Chittagong. The highest fruit infection of soft rot of potato (43%) was recorded at Dohazari, Chandanaish upazila in Chittagong. The average of higher disease severity of leaf (27%) and fruit (33%) was recorded in early blight of tomato and soft rot of potato, respectively, and the highest disease severity of leaf (29%) and fruit (35%) was recorded in Phomopsis blight and early blight of tomato and soft rot of potato, respectively. Keywords : Diseases, vegetable, fruit, survey. Introduction Bangladesh is an agrarian country. Its economy is mainly dependent on agriculture. Crop loss owing to the diseases poses a great threat to Bangladesh agriculture. More than 454 diseases in around 100 cultivated crops have so far been recorded in Bangladesh (Anon., 2006). The diseases cause substantial losses to crops.
