TIPERA, called by the Mahometans Roshenabad, a very 
extensive district of Bengal. It is situated on the eastern side 
of the Brahmapootra or Megna river, and between the 22d 
and 24th degrees of north lat. 
By Mahometan historians it is denominated the country of 
Jagenagur (properly Jehaznagur), which was probably the 
name of its principal port, subsequently known as Alumgeer- 
nagur. It was invaded in the year 1279 by Toghril, the 
Afghan governor of Bengal, who plundered the inhabitants, 
and brought away 100 elephants. In 1343, it was again in¬ 
vaded by Ilyas, the second -independent sovereign of Bengal, 
who imitated the conduct of his predecessors. Along with 
the rest-of Bengal, it devolved to the British in 1765. The 
rajah receives a portion of the revenue, and retains some of the 
eastern territory. The population has been estimated at 
750,000, in an equal proportion of Hindoos and Maho¬ 
metans.
