Shatkhira – deep inside the banks of the Sundarbans Forest (World's Largest mangrove),Bangladesh. It would be an understatement to say that the region concerned is going through a post-war phase. The Sundarbans was pounded by Cyclone Sidr,in 2007, and then again by Cyclone Aila, in 2009, consequent in over 35 hundred deaths and the vanishing of more than twice that many people. Over 20 feet of water dipped the region, rupturing the embankments that disjointed the rivers and lakes from the Bay of Bengal, which dramatically altered the ecosystem. This horrific misfortune has big impacts on people’s life as of today; the only prospect one can expect to witness in this area is the presence of never-ending miles of dead lands, robbed of their fertility. Some regions are always waterlogged with saline water. Water is everywhere, but not a drop to drink!
