In the second century AD, several small islands can be seen in the basin of the Ganges river on the map of the famous geographer Ptolemy. This cluster of small islands is considered to be the Kushtia region. It is presumed that the Pundra, or Pod, people from southern Bengal and people of other communities from the surrounding areas came in groups and settled on this fertile land of islands that rose from the bed of the Ganges or other watery expanses, hoping to farm or to catch fish in abundance. The Bharat Kosh says about the Kushtia region: 'Situated on the flat plain formed by silt in the Ganges delta region washed by rivers, its soil is extremely fertile and suited to agriculture. Therefore the presumption that farming and fishing communities came to this region, drawn by these two attractions - land fit for cultivation and abundant fish in countless rivers, streams, canals and marshes - is reasonable.'
