| Dhaka City |
According to the order of Emperor Jahangir the
“Subedar of Bangla” Islam Khan Cishti transferred the capital of “Suba Bangla”
from Rajmahal to Dhaka in 16th July 1610 A.D. Then it was named “Jahangir Nagar”
according to the name of Emperor Jahangir. This name remained until the death
of Emperor Jahangir. The capital of “Suba Bangla” was changed in so many times.
For instance in 1650 A.D. the second son of Emperor Sajahan named Prince Suja
again transferred the capital to Rajmahal in Bihar. In 1660 A.D. Emperor
Alamgir appointed Mir Jumla to the “Subedar” of Bangla and he brought
back the capital to Dhaka. In 1717 A.D. Subedar Murshid Kuli Khan transferred
the capital to Mursidabad. But in 1799 the British ruler
selected Kalkata as the capital so the importance of Dhaka
was gradually decreased. In 1905 Lord Karjon created the “Patition of
Bengal” and “Dhaka” got dignity as the capital of newborn province “East Bengal
& Asham”. In 1947 after the establish of Pakistan “Dhaka” regained the dignity of provincial capital of
East Pakistan. Finally in 16th December 1971 Dhaka was established as the
capital of independent Bangladesh.
