Khulna Division
The Division of Khulna is considerably influenced by the tributaries of the Ganges, which find their way into
the Bay of Bengal through a vast maze of waterways, making two-thirds of Khulna marshland or dense jungle consisting of mangrove swamps, an absolute haven for wildlife. The great tidal forest of the
Sundarbans , as this lower area is called, an ideal habitat for the Royal Bengal tiger, stretches along the
indented coastline of the Bay of Bengal for about 170 miles (276 km) and in places penetrates up to 80 miles
(128 km) inland from the sea. The heavy mangrove forest floor of the Sunarbans is intersected by shark- infested rivers with their bewildering maze of evershifting tidal tributaries.

in a Muslim Bangladeshi village for 18 months. On an anthropological level, it demonstrates the beginnings of
research in someone else's society, on a more general level, it can be read as a novel or a piece of travel
writing. The author writes about the friends she made, the characters she met, the rituals she witnessed,
