Dumka

Dumka, headquarters of the Dumka district, is a city and municipality in the state of Jharkhand, India. It was made the headquarters of the Santhal Pargana region, which was carved out of the Bhagalpur and Suri districts after the Santal Hool of 1855. Dumka is the sub-capital of the state of Jharkhand, which was carved out of the southern part of Bihar on 15 November 2000.

Etymology

There are two theories on how Dumka got its name. The first one suggests that Dumka's name derives from the Santali word sumk for "shunted" or "small," because during the British Raj, it was a small town compared to Suri and Bhagalpur.

The other is that Dumka derives its name from the Persian word damin-i-koh, which means 'skirts (an edge, border or extreme part) of the hills'. The Mughals assigned this name to the town and its vicinity on account of the presence of hillocks and undulating terrain.

    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    You are the sun, you are my light
    And you're the last thing on my mind
    Before I go to sleep at night
    You're always 'round when I'm in need
    When trouble's on my mind
    You put my soul at ease
    There is no one in this world
    Who can love me like you do
    So many reasons that I want to spend forever with you
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    We've had our fun, and we've made mistakes
    But who'd have guessed along that road
    We'd learn to give and take
    It's so much more than I could have dreamed
    You make loving you so easy for me
    There is no one in this world
    Who can love me like you do
    That is the reason that I want to share forever with you
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    (And girl I pray you leave me never)
    'Cause this is a world
    Where lovers often go astray
    But if we love each other
    We won't go, won't go that way
    So put your doubts aside
    Do what it takes to make it right
    'Cause I'll love you forever
    No one can tear us apart
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    I just want you to know that
    I can't eat, I can't sleep
    I can't breathe, whenever I'm without you
    When we walk, I stand tall
    When we talk, I only talk about you girl
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
    I'll be loving you forever
    Deep inside my heart you'll leave me never
    Even if you took my heart and tore it apart
    I would love you still forever
