| The
nobel lauriate and world poet Rabindranath Tagore
called Bangladesh as the land of gold-he didnot mean the gold from the
mine; but he compared the value of the heart of people of bengal with that
of gold.
Chittagong, from then British rule always played
the role of rebellion child of Bengal. From Arakan history to Surjya Sen
and during the liberation period Chittagong played a vital role. Chittagong
is the second most developed division of the four in the country, shares
its northern border with Assam - the tea-growing area - and, to the east,
with Burma. It has the distinction of being Bangladesh's only hilly region
with hills ranging from about 800 feet (242 meters) in the north to about
200 feet (60 meters) in the southern ranges. The narrow coastal strip is
crowded in by hills to the east, which is the only region where the land
is not fragmented by river deltas. |
