The story of some of the most famous rivers in the world

Another name of Padma river is Kirtinasha. King Rajvallabh's fame was washed away by the breakage of the Padma. This name from then on. However, the story of the erosion of the Padma or the life on the banks of the Padma first comes up in Manik Bandyopadhyay's novel 'Padma Nadir Majhi'. The tides of the Padma, the joys and sorrows, the way of life all come up with the story of Kubera's life. Although the widely discussed and popular novel was written on the banks of the Padma in Bengal, the stories of river banks around the world are also close. Sometimes an ethnic town, sometimes an industrial city, sometimes a river is just for animals.

As the river moves at its own pace, the story of change is written in every wave. Writes new reforms, sometimes or even breaks old reforms. However, there is no doubt that there is no comparison of the river behind the development of modern society.
