Kushtia District
The rivers of the former Nadia district, of which Kushtia was a part, were grouped together and known as "Nadia Rivers" because of the peculiar condition of the Nadia district and special measures taken by the Government to keep them flowing. All the rivers of the former Nadia district (and of the present. Kushtia for the matter of that) were offshoots of the Padma (lower Ganges). But at one time when the Ganges found its way to the sea along the course of the Bhagirathi, there must have been some earlier streams to carry the drainage of the Darjeeling-Himalayas to the sea. Bhairab is said to be one of those streams. Mter the Ganges drifted to the east and the Padma grew mighty and majestic all the drainage of northern and upper Bengal was intercepted by it.
