    [The Sylhet region of East Bengal] was outside the pale of human habitation, where there is no distinction between natural and artificial, infested by wild animals and poisonous reptiles, and covered with forest out-growths.


    Bengal in Prehistory

    Physically, the Bengal delta is a flat, low-lying floodplain in the shape of a great horseshoe, its open part facing the Bay of Bengal to the south. Surrounding its rim to the west, north, and east are disconnected hill systems, out of which flow some of the largest rivers in southern Asia—the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Meghna. Wending their way slowly over the delta’s flat midsection, these rivers and their tributaries deposit immense loads of sand and soil, which over millennia have gradually built up the delta’s land area, pushing its southern edge ever deeper into the bay. In historical times, the rivers have been natural arteries of communication and transportation, and they have defined Bengal’s physical and ancient cultural subregions—Varendra, the Bhagirathi-Hooghly basin, Vanga, Samatata, and Harikela (see map 1).[1]

    • Title:Perempuan Pandai Sendiri
    • Item Synopsis / Program Notes:

      The piece is based on the biography of the kind and respected Sultan Alauddin who once ruled the land of Malacca a long time ago. The queen, Tun Senaja, betrayed Sultan Alauddin, forming an unholy alliance with Raja Ahmad to take over the empire. She went to Sultan Alauddin while he was in mourning, and poisoned him through the food which he ate immediately after breaking fast in the month of Ramadhan. It is a painful and bitter sight to see someone being betrayed, especially by someone so close, but the strongest message of this show is very clear: the ones whom we love are our greatest weakness.
