if jamuna(brahmaputra) is the larger river then ganges why does it lose its name to the former and is referred as padma and meghna?
- Historic reasons. Jamuna used to be a small river branch of Brahmaputra. However, in the Assam valley earthquake of 1897, the course of the Brahmaputra changed, and Jamuna became the larger branch. --Ragib 12:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
