Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh, located on the banks of the Buriganga River in the Bengal region. It is a major economic, political, and cultural hub of South Asia, known for its rich history dating back over a millennium, vibrant culture, and rapid urbanization. The city has served as the capital of various historical kingdoms and empires, including the Mughal Empire, and today is one of the world's most densely populated cities.
7th century CE
The area of present-day Dhaka was part of the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Kamarupa and later the Pala Empire. Early settlements developed along the Buriganga River, with evidence of trade and religious activity. The region was known for its textile production, particularly muslin, which would become famous worldwide.
1608
Dhaka was established as the provincial capital of Bengal under the Mughal Empire by Subahdar Islam Khan I. He named the city 'Jahangirnagar' in honor of Emperor Jahangir. This marked the beginning of Dhaka's rise as a major administrative and commercial center, with the construction of forts, mosques, and infrastructure that shaped its urban layout.
17th century
Dhaka flourished as a prominent Mughal city, known for its thriving muslin trade, which attracted European merchants such as the British East India Company, Dutch, French, and Portuguese. The city's population grew, and it became a center of Islamic culture and education. Landmarks like Lalbagh Fort were built during this period.
1765
Dhaka came under the control of the British East India Company after the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and the subsequent Treaty of Allahabad. The British established a trading post, and the city's economic focus shifted, leading to a decline in the muslin industry due to colonial policies. Dhaka's importance as a regional capital diminished under British rule.
1905
Dhaka was declared the capital of the newly formed province of Eastern Bengal and Assam during the Partition of Bengal by the British. This decision aimed to address administrative issues but sparked political unrest and the Swadeshi movement among Bengalis. The partition was reversed in 1911, but it heightened Dhaka's political significance.
1947
Following the Partition of India, Dhaka became the capital of East Pakistan, part of the newly created Pakistan. The city experienced rapid growth as an administrative center but also faced political tensions and cultural clashes with West Pakistan, leading to the Bengali Language Movement in 1952, which advocated for the recognition of Bengali.
1971
Dhaka played a central role in the Bangladesh Liberation War. On March 7, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered a historic speech at the Ramna Race Course, calling for independence. The war began on March 26, and Dhaka witnessed significant events, including the Operation Searchlight crackdown. After victory on December 16, Dhaka was declared the capital of independent Bangladesh.
1980s-1990s
Dhaka underwent rapid urbanization and population growth, becoming one of the world's most densely populated cities. Infrastructure development expanded, including the construction of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and the expansion of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. The city also faced challenges like traffic congestion and political unrest.
2000s-present
Dhaka has emerged as a major global city and economic powerhouse in South Asia. It hosts numerous international organizations and has seen significant development in sectors like textiles (garment industry), IT, and finance. Landmarks such as the National Parliament Building (designed by Louis Kahn) symbolize its modern identity. The city continues to grapple with issues like climate change and overpopulation while driving Bangladesh's growth.
