Answer to the question no 1

1. Describe the Janapada of Barind Tract with examples.

- Barind, also called Barind Tract, geographic region in parts of northwestern Bangladesh and

north-central West Bangla state India. It lies northwest of confluence of the upper Padma and

Jamuna (the name of the Barmaputra in Bangladesh) rivers and is bordered by the floodplains of

the Mahananda to the west and the Karatoya River to the east—tributaries of the upper Padma

and of the Jamuna, respectively. Barind is a comparatively high, undulating region, with reddish

and yellowish clay soils. It is cut by ravines and is divided into separate sections by the Atrai

River and one of its tributaries to the east. Agricultural plots are commonly irrigated and stand

between stretches of wasteland and scrub. Rice is the predominant crop, but wheat, mustard,

pulses, and palmyra palms (genus Borassus) also are cultivated.

To the east and southeast of the Barind is the lower Atrai Basin (Bhar Basin), a vast area of

lowland marshes that floods completely during the rainy season; settlements there must be raised

on stilts or built on earthen mounds. The fertile soils of this region are especially suited to rice

cultivation.

territories, Bangla was not supplied with an self-governing Governor-in-Council. The Governor

General of India acted as the governor of Bangla. Thus without a governor-in-Council and

without a secretariat of its own, Bangla was reduced to a second fiddle to the empire.

Immediately after the British government took the ruling control of India they made some

changes to establish their rule in Bangla permanently. Some of them are good like the took some
