Mymensingh is a district of Bangladesh, which is situated on the banks of Brahmaputra river. It is also located in the neighborhood of Dhaka. Before 1937, the name of Mymensingh was Nasirabad, but the British changed the name to Nasirabad in view of the Hindu population. Around 1937, 78 percent Hindus lived here.
When Bangladesh was formed, Mymensingh was made a division along with the district. Mymensingh division consists of 3 districts. According to the population of 2022, the total population of Mymensingh is 51 lakh 77 thousand. Of these, Muslims are 90 percent and Hindus are 9 percent.
In the year 1971, just 5 days before the independence of Dhaka, Mymensingh was freed from the clutches of Pakistanis. At that time, Hindus were dominant in Mymensingh, but now the population of Hindus here has reduced to 9 percent. Mymensingh has the largest Durgabari (Durga temple) of Bangladesh. The temple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa is located here. Overall, Hindus have been very strong here in the past as well, due to which in any disturbance, most of the attacks take place here.
