this needs to happen to compensate for what the rivers take away every year - let alone the rising seas

Every year, the river system in BD carries about 2.4 billion ton of silt, sand and sediment from their sources in the Himalayan plateau in the north, NE and NW. A certain percentage of it forms the Shoal (চর) in the rivers, and the remaining most are carried to the sea. The silts have been accumulating for the last few million years and built what is now BD. This process is now forming new islands near the BoB shores.

At least southern part.

Wrong.... for that you have to know how himalayas were formed.... its continental shift...
plus lands rising from the sea full of sodium can't suddenly become the most fertile land on earth...

sounds like god is answering our prayers for tourism.... possible tourism hub? possible?

Some say our main rivers were created due to massive earthquake and there may be Faults underlying the riverbed.

Some ignorant members here think that the little boy called World Bank has the authority to call the tourists off BD shores when its own integrity itself has been called into question by a Canadian Court. It is busy now to defend itself.

I think, the rivers started being created with water coming down from the Himalayas a few hundred million years ago after it rose gradually above the sea level when the Indian land collided with the Tibetan land in the north.

The river courses keep on changing as is dictated by the nature. However, today's people tend to tame the rivers as an effort to survive. So, there may be lesser changes now a days. Of course, earthquakes play a vital role in the changes of water flow directions, but, their creation itself was not by the earthquake.

bruh... compared to tourism in thailand... sri lanka or even india... we are nothing... infrastructure, entire workforce dedicated to this and friendly environment need to be created to effectively make this a part of the economy too.
