Geo-nature

 

The Raipura region has been known as a Hindu settlement since ancient times. Analyzing the historical basis of the word ‘Raipura’, it is understood that the zamindari of the earlier ‘Ray’ clan predominated as zamindari territories. It is believed that the name 'Raipura' originated from that. Raipura is a paradise land. The Meghna and its tributaries are submerged. The Dhaka-Chittagong railway has gone through this. It is a large range police station. There are six railways inside. The three main rivers of Bangladesh are Meghna, Brahmaputra and Arial Khan. This thana has been composed of a large population since the British rule. It is believed that the British rulers established this police station for the purpose of collecting blue tax. The indigo factory established by them still bears the signature of the British rule in this area. Established in the mid-nineteenth century, the thana is associated with the history of the influence and tradition of the then Hindu zamindars.
