==History==
[[Kasimbazar]] and Jugdia in the eighteenth century offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of the [[South Asian]] merchants as well as the organization of the textile trade in [[Bengal]]. The [[East India Company]] determined on a course of sustained expansion of its import of raw [[silk]] from [[Bengal]], particularly from the region of [[Kasimbazar]].

Ananta Manik of Bhalwa frequently enlisted [[Arakan]]ese help to retain his [[Zamindar|zamindari]] in the face of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] threat emanating from [[Bengal]]. This fight was complicated by the [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] presence in the area. The latter frequently acted as mercenaries in the countries of the Bay and were utilized as such by local rulers in their wars against each other.

They named the village Jugdia. They gradually spread education and [[Islamic culture]] in their own tradition. Earlier they were engaged in Munshibdar in the various parts of lower [[Bengal]], especially the [[Bay of Bengal]] and Island of [[Sundarbans|Sunderban]]. Chamcham Molla was given land as Khaznader from Jaminder and Hazi Desarat as a Khaznader from Pathatnkhali island under the [[Gosaba]] police station in [[Sundarban]] area.
