Sitakunda,Chittagong.
The
legends of the area state the sage Bhargava created a pond (kunda) for Sita
Devi to bathe in when her husband Lord Ramchandra visited during his exile in
the forests. Sitakunda derived its name from this incident .Sitakunda has been
occupied by humans since the Neolithic era; tools associated with the
prehistoric Assam group have been found throughout the area During the 6th and
7th centuries CE, the Chittagong region was ruled by the Kingdom of Arakan.
In
the next century, it was briefly ruled byDharmapala (reign: 770–810) of the
Pala Empire.[12] The area was conquered in 1340 by Sultan Fakhruddin Mubarak
Shah (reign: 1338–1349) of Sonargaon, who founded the first dynasty of the
Sultanate of Bengal When Sultan
Ghiyasuddin Mahmud Shah (reign: 1533–1538) of the last dynasty of the Sultanate
of Bengal was defeated in 1538 by Sher Shah Suri of the Sur Dynasty, the
Arakanese captured the region again. Batsauphyu(reign: 1459–1482) of the Mrauk
U dynasty took advantage of the weakness of Sultan Barbak Shah of Bengal to
lead the invasion.[13] In this period, Keyakchu (or Chandrajyoti), a prince of
Arakan, established a monastery in Sitakunda.[14][15] Between 1538 and 1666,
Portuguese privateers (known
asFiringhis or Harmads) made inroads into Chittagong and ruled the region in
alliance with Arakanese pirates. During those 128 years, the eastern coast of
Bengal became a home to pirates of Portuguese and Arakanese origins For a brief period in 1550, it was taken over
by Pagan invaders.[18]In 1666, Mughal commander Bujurg Umed Khan conquered the
area
Along with the rest of
Bengal, Sitakunda came under the rule of the British East India Company after
the company's defeat of the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757.
Rapid growth in the Bengali population since then resulted in an exodus of
non-Bengali people from Sitakunda and its vicinity to the Chittagong Hill
Tracts 
During the Ardhodaya Yog movement, a
part of the Swadeshi Indian independence movement, the governance of Sitakunda
was briefly in the hands of Indian nationalists when, in February 1908, they
took over the central government in Kolkata In 1910, Indian Petroleum
Prospecting Company drilled here for hydrocarbon exploration, the first such
activity in East Bengal. In 1914, the first onshorewildcat well in Bangladesh
was drilled at Sitakunda anticline to a depth of 762 metres (2,500 ft). By
1914, however, all four of the wells drilled had proven to be failures .
The potential for a ship breaking
industry first appeared in 1964 when Chittagong Steel House started scrapping
MD Alpince, a 20,000 metric tons (19,684 long tons) Greek ship that had been
accidentally beached near Fouzdarhat by a tidal bore four years earlier.During
the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, Sitakunda was part of Sector 1, led by
Ziaur Rahman and Major Rafiqul Islam of the Mukti Bahini, the forces fighting
for the independence of Bangladesh. The ship breaking industry began in earnest
in 1974 when Karnafully Metal Works started scrapping Al Abbas, a Pakistani
ship damaged in 1971, and flourished in the 1980s. As of 2007, Sitakunda had
overtaken the ship breaking industries of India and Pakistan to become the
largest in the world..
