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.

ReplyDeleteyou have labelled the International School (ISD) as the American International. They are different, AIS/D is in Baridhara, the newer ISD is in Bashundhara.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures anyway. Buriganga next?
Thanks for correcting me.
ReplyDeleteI used to live next to AIS/D in Baridhara in the mid 80's. All the change has rendered the place unrecognizable to me, but nice shots all the same.
ReplyDeleteit is really nice presentation and a very good effort. would appreciate if could offer a guidance how and where to find an uptodate road map of housing areas of banai, gulshan, dhanmondi and bashundhara of braidhara project in dhaka. as it is really a pain to find out a specific address in those areas. 14 sep 2010.
