The Ancient Janapadas of Bangladesh: In ancient age of Bangladesh was then divided into some small regions. Each region was identified as a separate Janapada or principality of human habitation. Pundra: Pundra was one of the Janapadas of ancient Bengal. It was probably comprised of the areas that at present represent greater Bogra, Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Dinajpur districts. Varendra: We come to know about another Janapada i.e. Varendra or Varendri. Some parts of Rajshahi, Rangpur and Bogra were known as Barendra or Varendra region. Banga: The Banga Janapada of ancient Bengal was formed with the southeastern part of present Bangladesh. A race named Banga inhabited in this region. Probably its boundaries included the areas of greater of greater districts of Dhaka, Comilla, Faridpur, Barisal, and Patuakhali. Somatata: The kingdom that stressed to the south of Bengal was called Samatata. The large coastal belt emanating from the eastern bank of the Bhagirathi, one of the branches of the Ganges, down to the mouth of the Meghna, constituted this Janapada. Harikel: Some scholars are of opinion that Harikel Janapada was formed with regions of greater Sylhet and Chittagong districts of today. Gour: Historical sources of ancient times mention the name of Gour Janapada, which was located in the northern part of present Bangladesh. Then the boundary of this Janapada is not clearly known. Afterwards it is known that in the sixth century the Gour Janapada was formed with the central part of the Indian province of West Bengal. In the early part of the Muslim rule, the kingdom of Lakhnavati was ruler of this kingdom in the seventh century. So there is no doubt that the Janapada of Gour developed in this part of Bengal in ancient time.
