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.

Great blog. I enjoy your photos very much. From your blog I can see Dhaka has changed a lot in the past decade
ReplyDeleteI have found that you have affection for Dhaka. But you know the people of Dhaka are now suffering for traffic jam. We are losing our temper and become cruel at road.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a solution - I have named a funny name of the solution, it is "Hatu Haddi crossing" as it is seems like that. If we can built this kind of crossing in the main roads of Dhaka and establish following system I think we can get out from this crisis.
: Make all main roads of Dhaka city one way, close all right turns and crossing,
remove all signals.
: Construct one Hatu Haddi Crossing (HHC) in every 10 KM as per requirement.
: Ensure traffic control system.
: Rearrange public transport rut.
I request to see my face book profile for the picture of this crossing.
