Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, well known as city of fine muslin, mosques and rickshaws has a fairly long history of evolution. Before it rose into prominence as Mughal capital of Bengal in 17th century and urban & commercial centre, it was under the Sultanates from 14 century. It came under British control in 1757. Dhaka with passage of time testify different faces of history. Photographs and digital archives are the most effective ways that can keep visual records of its colourful history.

ReplyDeleteAssalmu alaikum,
ReplyDeleteWow I am very impressed. I have been waiting some time for a website such as this, showing pictures of everyday life and places in Dhaka where we never really get to see here in UK.
Its been nearly 15 years since I last went to B'desh. I am very encouraged by the development of exquisite buildings in places like Dhaka. I hope this can be extended to the lesser developed areas of the city & country, like Sylhet.

Thank you so much for your comment. The blog mainly focus 'Dhaka City'. I belive there are some sites on Moulvibazar and may be sylhet.
