		This includes the six southernmost thanas of Khulna District, wherein lies most of the Sundarbans region, and the five most southerly thanas of Patuakhali District, where, mostly in Amtali thana, I gather, some 40 kilometers (25 square miles) of Sundarbans forest still may be found (Ahmad 1968:199-215; Latif 1982:82-83).
		Khulna District, as a whole, has the largest number of Hindus of all districts in Bangladesh, its borders containing 11 percent of the total Hindu population in 1981 (GPRB 1984a: Table 5); whereas only 12 percent of Bangladesh's population are Hindus, 27 percent of Khulna's people belong to that religious community (GPRB 1984a: Table 4).
		It is the pressure of population in other districts, and also the protection against robbers afforded by the British government, which have led to the colonization of Southern Bakarganj; and when the process began, Mahomedans easily outstripped the Hindus in the race for taking possession of the new country.
