i liked the evolution however there is an empty period between 1947-1971, where not much digital signature of dhaka appears in any of the internet sites on dhaka. one should reconstruct that period in photo blogging the missing pieces.
Thank You for sharing these pictures.
amazing!
British ppl took those pictures and saved in their library. Just wondering how advanced they r and their thinking! We would't be able to see these priceless pictures without'em.
