The city was founded in the 7th century. According to one version, the name of the city comes from the name of the Hindu goddess of fertility Durga, according to another, from the name of a tropical tree that produces valuable resin.

Dhaka is located on the banks of the Buriganga River, near the confluence of the Padma and Meghna rivers. It is a river port in the delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra, as well as a center of water tourism.

Story

The emergence of a settlement in the territory now occupied by Dhaka dates back to the 7th century. The area of ​​the city was under the rule of the Buddhist Kamarupa kingdom and the Pala Empire, before coming under the control of the Hindu Sena dynasty in the 9th century. The city's name may have resulted from the establishment of a temple of goddess Dhakeshwari by King Ballal Sena in the 12th century. Dhaka and its environs during this period were defined as Bengalla. The city itself included several markets such as Lakshmi Bazaar, Shankhari Bazaar, Kumartuli, etc. After the Sena dynasty, Dhaka was ruled successively by Turkic and Pashtun governors of the Delhi Sultanate, before it entered the Mughal Empire in 1608. The development of the settlement, including through increased housing construction, led to a significant increase in population, as a result of which the city was proclaimed the capital ( rajmahal) Bengal during the Mughal rule in 1608. Mughal subadar Islam Khan was the first ruler of the city. Khan gave the name to the city "Jahangir Nagar" (জাহাঙ্গীর নগর; Jahangir city listen)) in honor of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, however this name was dropped from the title shortly after Jahangir's death. The major expansion of the city took place during the reign of Shaista Khan. The city had an area of ​​19 by 13 kilometers (12 by 8 mi), with a population of approximately one million.

In 1905, as a result of the unsuccessful first partition of Bengal, Dhaka was declared the capital of the newly created state of East Bengal, but already in 1911 Bengal was reunited. In 1947, after the partition of British India, Dhaka became the capital of East Pakistan. After this, clashes began to occur between communities in the city. Most of the city's Hindu population went to India, while many Muslims came to Dhaka. In the city, which was the center of regional politics, strikes and acts of violence became more frequent. The recognition of Urdu as the only official language of Pakistan led to large-scale protests. Several students were shot dead by the police as a result of the suppression of a demonstration in support of the Bengali language. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Dhaka remained a center of political activity, and demands for autonomy for the Bengali population increased.
