Vikramapura the political and cultural centre of ancient Bengal survives only in the name of an area in the Munshiganj district of Bangladesh. The remains of the city of Vikramapura, the capital of the ancient kingdoms of southeastern Bengal, are lost and its location can only be guessed on the basis of available data.
The name of Vikramapura survived in the name of a pargana in the Mughal period. It appears in Todarmal's settlement in the 16th century yielding revenue of Rs 83,376. By 1728 the revenue had increased to Rs 1,03,001, and to decrease again in 1763 to Rs 24,568, partly due to creation of two new parganas, Rajnagar and Baikunthapur, out of it and partly due to the destructive activity of the Padma. Today the name does not exist even officially; but the inhabitants of a vast tract of land in the Munshiganj district still feel pride in saying that they belong to Vikramapura, which, of course, emanates from the past glory of the area.

Bikrampur Pargana- history
Bikrampur (Bengali: বিক্রমপুর Bikrômpur) pargana is situated 12 miles south of Dhaka, the modern-day capital of Bangladesh. It lies in the Munshiganj District of Bangladesh. It is a historic region in Bengal. The region is famous for its early Buddhist scholarships and in the later period for its cultural influences. It is known to be the oldest capital of Bengal since the Vedic Period until Bhawal and Sonargaon took over the title.
In post Aurangzeb era, during the time of Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, Bikrampur was divided into eight taluks - Bhagyakul, Sreenagar, Maijpara, Sinhapara, Taltala, Sirajdikhan, Louhojong and Baligaon. Each taluk was represented by one zamindar. Gobinda Prasad Roy became the zamindar of Maijpara. [11]
Etymology
It is believed that the name Bikrampur is derived from the word Vikramāditya (বিক্রমাদিত্য). Vikramāditya is a biblical king in Hindu religion. But several rulers including Chandragupta II, Dharmapal, Samrat Hemu also assumed the title Vikramāditya.[1] So it is not certain after whom the region is named. Vikram (বিক্রম) means "valour" and Pur (পুর) is a common sub-continental location name suffix.History
Pala Era
The second ruler of Pala Empire, Dharmapal, built a Buddhist monastery in Bikrampur during his reign in 770-810.[3]Chandra Era
During the rule of Srichandra (reigned 930 - 975 AD), the administrative centre of the Chandra kingdom was established at BIkrampur.[4]Sen Era
A copper-plate inscription from the time of the ruler Vijay Sen (ruled 1097-1160), founder of Sen dynasty, was found in Barrackpore, India in 1911. In this inscription, Bikrampur was mentioned as the capital of that region.[1]. It continued to be the capital throughout the Sena Dynasty. In 1205, Turkic invader Bakhtiyar Khilji defeated the then-ruler Lakshman Sen in Nadia. Lakshman Sen fled to Bikrampur.[5] His two sons Vishwarup Sen and Keshab Sen kept ruling from here until 1230.[6] But the copper-plate inscriptions during their reign do not mention Bikramapur as the capital.[2] Another Hindu ruler, Danuj Rai, defeated a successor of Keshab Sen and started ruling from here. In early 1280 he moved the capital to Sonargaon.[7][2]Mughal Era
Emperor Akbar established Bikrampur as one of the 52 parganas of Sonargaon sarkar in Bengal subah during his administrative reforms in 1572-1580.[8] During his time, Chand Rai[9] and Kedar Rai[10] were the zamindars of Bikramapur.In post Aurangzeb era, during the time of Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, Bikrampur was divided into eight taluks - Bhagyakul, Sreenagar, Maijpara, Sinhapara, Taltala, Sirajdikhan, Louhojong and Baligaon. Each taluk was represented by one zamindar. Gobinda Prasad Roy became the zamindar of Maijpara. [11]
