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.

Wow, Kaakrol, I had almost forgotten about this vegetable, hehehe...also, its nice to see the addition of push-cart selling vendors, just like they do in karachi. Ladies selling something in the trunk of the car? Wow, everyone has become business-minded. Great work Mr. Ershaad, keep it up, very interesting!
