Jamalpur (Bengali: জামালপুর জেলা, Jamalpur Jela also Jamalpur Zila) is a district in Bangladesh[1] and part of Mymensingh Division. It was established in 1978.[1] It occupies 2031.98 km²[1] and is located between 24°34' and 25°26' North and between 89°40' and 90°12' East. It is bounded by Meghalaya, state of India, Kurigram and Sherpur districts in the north, Tangail district in the south, Mymensingh and Sherpur districts in the east, Jamuna River, Bogra, Sirajganj and Gaibandha districts in the west. The main town is situated on the bank of the river Brahmaputra, 140 km (87 mi) north of Dhaka, the national capital. The most notable historical events of the district include the Fakir-Sannyasi Resistance (1772-1790), the Indigo Resistance Movement (1829), a Famine (1874), the Construction of the railway communication (1899), and the War of Liberation in 1971. On June 21, the Pakistani army, in collaboration with the local Razakars, killed 9 people at the Shashan Ghat (cremation centre) at Jamalpur sadar upazila on the bank of the Brahmaputra. A battle was fought between the Bengali fighters and the Pakistani army on July 31 at Kamalpur Pakistani Army Base of Bakshiganj upazila causing heavy loss to the occupation army. In this battle, 35 freedom fighters including Capt. Salahuddin Momtaz, Ahaduzzaman, Abul Kalam Azad were killed. A battle was fought between Bengali troops under Sector Commander Col. Abu Taher and the Pakistani army on November 13 at Kamalpur of Bakshiganj upazila. In this battle Col Taher was seriously wounded. The small Pakistani military base at Kamalpur eventually fell on December 4, in the face of heavy attack by rebels lasting 21 days. In this battle, 220 Pakistani soldiers under the command of Captain Ahsan Malik surrendered. The Jamalpur garrison was commanded by Sultan Ahmed and lasted about a week. Sultan earned renown among the Pakistanis when he refused to surrender to the India commander, Hardev Kler, telling him to use a sten not a pen. (Cloughley, "A History of the Pakistan Army"). This front, together with the Rangpur-Bogra front further west, was the only front where Pakistani troops held out during the war. However, on December 10, 1971 they were ordered to withdraw to Dhaka, and during this retreat their commander Abdul-Qadir Niazi fell into enemy custody, giving the Bangladeshis and Indians a morale boost.
