Description
A long time ago. In eastern India there was a powerful developed kingdom called “Pundradesh” which was almost contemporary with the Indus Civilization. The Purnia region of Bihar, North Bengal of West Bengal and the northern part of Bangladesh were included in the Poundra state. The capital of this Pound country was Mahasthangarh in East Bengal. It is currently located in Bogra, Bangladesh. One of the inscriptions found here mentions a place called Pundanagar which means Pundra Nagar or Pundradesh in Sanskrit. At that time the development of Pundra civilization spread almost all over Bengal. Moreover, references to Paundras are found in ancient texts such as Mahabharata, Srimad Bhagavad Manusamhita, Matsya Purana, Kula Tantra etc. The Mahabharata mentions that the sons of Maharaja Bali were the rulers of five places in eastern India namely Anga, Banga, Kalinga, Pundra and Sukshma. The Digvijaya branch of the Mahabharata mentions their abode to the east of Munger and their association with the Yuvaraja who ruled the Saptakoshi river by another name, Koshiyatat.
Inscribed inscriptions or copperplates during the Gupta rule in India and ancient Chinese writers refer to Pundravardhana as the seat of the Pundras of North Bengal. The abode of the Pundras was known as Pundra or Pundravardhan. Pundra Kshatriyas are an Aryan community according to some historians. But later they became Bratya Kshatriyas. Shri Panchanan Burma started this movement to regain the respect and recognition of the upper caste Bengalis from the neglected royal Kshatriyas of the North Bengal Kshatriyas who were oppressed by the racist Hindus of Bengal as the Paundra Kshatriyas of the Aryan race. He felt that the Rajvanshis must be organized and educated which he tried to achieve through the Kshatriya Sabha. This organization proves that the Rajvanshis were Kshatriyas of royal lineage and had historical links with King Vishwasingha of Cooch Behar. Based on Sanskrit literature and Brahmin scholars they proved for centuries to be Kshatriyas hiding their true identity out of fear of Parashurama. In support of this claim, the movement conducted a formal Kshatriyaization process. 1319 Bangabd 27th Magh of Panchagarh
