Dhaka

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.

Absolutely amazing site, it's a window to Dhaka for all those of us stranded miles away from our beloved motherland.

Keep up the great work. It will be nice if you gradually start adding Chittagong, Sylhet and other cities in your collection.
