The name of my hometown is Kishoreganj. It is a district
headquarters and is only 145 kilometers north-east of Dhaka. The name
Kishoreganj came from the name of an old landlord known as Brojakishore
Pramanik or Nandakishore Pramanik.
The area of Kishoreganj town is 19.57 square kilometre. The
river Narasunda flows across the town. There are many important places in and
around this small town. They are- the largest Eid ground known as Solakia Eid
Ground, the Pagla Mosque and the well-known Govt. Gurudayal College. Out of the
town, there the fort of Isah Khan at Jangal Bari, the Shah Muhammad Mosque at
Egaroshindhur and the Shiva temple, of Chandrabati on the bank of Fuleshwari
river.
Kishoreganj is also famous as the home of some important
personalities. The first woman poet of Bangla literature Chandrabati was born
here. Syed Nazrul Islam, the first acting President of Bangladesh is also from
this town. Two popular writers of children literature Upendro Kishore Roy
Chowdhury and Sukumar Roy are also from here. The great master of painting,
Zainul Abedin also comes from Kishoreganj. I am very proud of my hometown.
