Bhulua Kingdom
Kingdom in present-day Bangladesh / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Bhulua (Bengali: ভুলুয়া রাজ্য, romanized: Bhulua Rajjo) was a kingdom and later a zamindari covering the present-day Noakhali region of Bangladesh. According to local tradition the establishment of the kingdom dates from the twelfth century, when Bishwambhar Sur, ninth son of Adi Sur, a Kshatriya of Mithila who passed by the area during a pilgrimage. There are several versions of this tale and questions about the accuracy of the date, but it is probably a fact that the early Rajas of Bhulua were Kayasthas from Western Bengal. The kingdom fell under Tripura vassalage in the 15th century, and was reduced to a zamindari (fiefdom) after losing to the Mughals. Most of the kingdom's land has been eroded by the Meghna River.[1]
