Moving erroneous section[edit]

Buddhist Kingdom[edit]

This area ruled by Dhata son of Dhotuseno and King Dhatusena son of Mohonomo.^[1] It was changed from Dhata to Dacca or Dhaka (Sanskrit to Pali or English) by time to time. Dhaka (Naga of Nogbonshi King/Kshatriya Ruled India) are one of the most ancient warrior tribe of Jats. Dhaka are said to be the descendants of Dhata king. Naga families ruled between 500 BC and 500 CE and some of them onward up to the Mughal period. Dhaka's are settled on Asian continent with changing their surname (as per local language style of countries) -Dhaka, Dhake, Deka, Dahaka, Dhoke and Dhakar. Certain members of the Moriyan dynasty, dreading the power of the (usurper) Shubho, the bâlattho, had settled in various parts of the country.

The capital status of Dhaka[edit]

Dhaka became capital 4 times in the history. First as capital of Mughol province of Bengal in the 17th century, then as the capital of British India's new province of Eastern Bengal & Assam in 1905, as the capital of Pakistani province of East Pakistan in 1947 & lastly as the capital of Independent Bangladesh in 1971. The History of Dhaka article needs to highlight these incidents.Unmesh Bangali (talk) 13:10, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History of Dhaka during British Raj[edit]

The history of Dhaka must look into it's paramount role in securing independence from the British colonialists. It is Dhaka where All India Muslim Leaugue was formed in 1905 which shaped the entire history of India in due course.Furthermore the establishment of Dhaka University with the pioneering roles of Nawab Salimullah Khan, Nabab Ali Chowdhury and of course Shere Bangla A. K. Fazlul Haq needs to be n arrated here properly. Murad67 (talk) 09:15, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Mughal Empire[edit]

I appreciate the inclusion of Mughal Empires map of 1700 AD by user Hossain Akhtar Chowdhury. Dhaka was the capital of Subah Bangla during Mughal empire and hence the map under Mughal era section is very much relevant. But some other editor i.e. Mr. Md Altaf Rahman has deleted it unilaterally without any discussion in the talk page. So I have reverted his edit. NB If the map of Devpala is here, the Mughal era map can certainly and legitimately remain here. RegardsAl-minar (talk) 07:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Al-minar ! User:Md.altaf.rahman, please refrain from deleting such valuable inclusion without discussing in the talk page. Regards & Thanks Hossain Akhtar Chowdhury (talk) 07:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Mr. Al-minar you deserve thanks for restoration of the map. I can not understand whyMd.altaf.rahman unilaterally deleted the map. Thanks & Regards to all Murad67 (talk) 07:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To me if Calcutta can be termed as a 'British Made City', Dacca can very well stated as a 'Mughal Made City'. So the said map just fits into it on its own merit. Thanks all Miniman77 (talk) 09:30, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Dhaka[edit]

What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content. Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 16:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@M2545:, good idea. thanks. Altaf (talk) 18:20, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
