This glorious place, of Megalithic Tombs Stone, holds the remaining pieces of Jainta Kingdom. The damaged Rajbari or King's palace, Jainteshvari temple, and megalithic monument are found here. Megalithic monument is the best heritage structure among these. There is no other megalithic monument in Bangladesh other than this. Jaintiapur is the only place in Bangladesh where Meghalithic remnants have been discovered.
Due to its geophysical condition the region remained independent for a long time and was well known as Jaintapur Kingdom. As such it was mentioned in Epic, Puranic, and Tantric literatures. However, a number of local legends, folk tales, and inscriptions suggest that from approximately the 7th/8th century AD Jaintapur came under the control of Kamarupa Kingdom and that later it went under the control of the Chandra and Varman rulers.
After the fall of the Varmans, Jaintapur was again ruled for some time by the Deva dynasty. Jayanta Ray, the last ruler of the Deva dynasty, had a daughter named Jayanti, who got married to a son of a Khasi chief, named Landowar. Due to this matrimonial alliance, Jaintapur kingdom went under the control of the Khasis in c 1500 AD. Subsequently, Khasi kings ruled over the kingdom independently till the British occupied it in 1835.

On the way of BDR camp of Bijoypur, you'll find a monument. This monument was built for remembering the courageous sacrifice of Hajong Roshimoni (হাজং রশিমনি). She was killed during the Tonk Andolon (টনক আন্দোলন). The GPS coordinate of the monument is (25° 9'27.72"N, 90°39'32.31"E).
That event was actually taking position against the barbarian ruler of that area. The Shushong King/Zamindar (সুসংগ রাজা/জমিদার) was the owner of all lands and local people were only allowed to cultivate there. They were forced to pay a portion from their crops, no matter how good or bad the harvest is. This cruel rule just crippled the farmers economically. So they have decided to stand against the ruler under the banner of Hajong Roshimoni (হাজং রশিমনি) who was later killed.
The monument is simple in design and may not be an attractive structure to you, but if you know the history behind, you may find this interesting. The book Bangladesher Krishoker Shongram (বাংলাদেশের কৃষকের সংগ্রাম) by Shotten Sen (সত্যেন সেন) has more detail about this courageous lady.

At the North Bengal Sugar Mills Ltd. at Gopalpur in Natore district, about one hundred innocent people, officers, laborers, staffs and others of the mills, were killed on the staircase of a pond in the main mill premises by machine gun burst-fire on May 5, 1971 by the beastly Pakistani soldiers. This holy pond is now called “Shaheed Sagar” by the local people.
On 1971 30th March in Lalpur Upazila, 4km to north of Gopalpur in Moynapur Village there was a war of Khan Senas. Next day when Major Reza Khan planned to escape he was shot by the public. In order to prevent Pakistani army for landing on the airport the local people demanding freedom broke the runway and maid the Iswardi Airport inactive. There was a horrendous condition in the town yet for the sake of sugar cane cultivators, each people were assigned individual responsibilities in the mills. In May 5 1971 despite the surrounding conditions Mill was active.
Then suddenly a group of Pakistani soldiers with the help of some Rajakaars entered the mill. The brush fired and killed the administrator Lt. Anwarul Azim and other employees of the mill. After killing them they left all the dead bodies in the pond. After Liberation this pond was named as Sagor Dighi. In 1973 in memory of Lt. Anwarul Azim Gopalpur railway station was named as Azimpur Station.
