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.

ReplyDeleteTwo different perspective of our so densely populated and hugely loved capital city. The photos are original they show what they are, capturing the reality brings a sense of relief in people. well done I must say. The life of a kid trying to sell balloons and a superstore sales person is very contrasting at the same time soothing at the edges, as in even though they do have different way of life, they do the same thing for living- this has been nicely portrayed in the pictured.
