Today is World Rivers Day. Bangladesh is the most riverine country in the world. Our tourism could also be river dependent Today could have been a festival in this country, nothing happened. In this country of river diversity, let tourism be far away, everyday rivers are being occupied. Our ignorance about the river is also like thinking, in fact, we stop after 10-15 o’clock. However, the land of 800 rivers, the snow-capped seas of the Himalayas, Bangladesh, in various guises, touches the markets, ghats, and ports of this country under various names spreads endless silt along the way and finally seeks refuge in the mouth of the Bay of Bengal. This country is made of rivers, this delta is therefore bound by the magic of rivers, along with us.

Strange in this country as there is Fulkumar river there is the Fakirni river! There is madness, there is madness, there is lenga and even head-scratching! As there is ChinaZ, there is also Petki! There is a white river, there is a black river! Cheap, Mirgi, Baulai, there is sleeping and thinking type river! As there is an old woman, there is also “Juan”! There is a lenta, there is a burqa. There is a jury, there is a clerk! Pandava, Vishnu, Hari, Narad, Harihar, Manas, Ramchandi, Ravanabad, Bhubaneswar, Gadai, Nitai, Narad, Shiva, Dhaleshwari, Gaveshwari, Kageshwari, Someshwari, Nageshwari, Yamuneshwari, Vateshwari, Mukteshwari. There are also Arial Khan, Jalakdar Khan, Minhaj, Musa Khan, Isdar Khan.

From Putimari to Singimari, Sholmari, Chitalmari, Ilishmari, Sapmara, Khasimara, the fight has finally reached Ghoramara! On the other hand, there is Rangamatia along with Kanchamatia. There is the Sui river, along with the Suta river. There are shuks, there is sari. There are boogie, sandalwood, tiakhali, pigeon, dahuk, cuckoo, peacock! Not only thieves, but there are also robbers. In our small Bangladesh, there are only eight Ichhamati. Think? Hearing the names of some beautiful rivers fills the mind. Such as Subchani, Pransayar, Mayur, Dhansindri, Manu, Piain, Jadukata, Dahuk, Talma, Bijli, Ghungur, Tankavati, Banshi, Paruli, Luva, Sandhya, Sugandha, Rupsha, Malanch, Chitra, Madhumati, Lobangavati! They are flowing from village to village, telling different stories under different names! If this country is riverine, we are the children of the river! If the river survives, Bangladesh will survive!
