Mr. Khundkar:
I am especially amazed by another photo in your sent items - the photo of Bangladeshis in 1860 - making Hookas from coconut. My great-grandmother died in early 1960s at the age of 107. We have a family photo where she is sitting on a Piri like the people in the photo. We still have that piri in our family. I was told that my great-granny was given that piri by her father who was a Professor at a renounded college and she never gave that up. She was given that at a very tender age which makes the time-line about 1880s. Can u imagine what sort of feeling ran through my veins when I saw that photo and the piris the men were sitting on? It seemed I was seeing the uncles of my great-granny.

Subject: [ALOCHONA] Pictures of Dhaka or Dacca from 19th & early 20th Centuries
A very nice presentation/
collection of pictures of what Dacca was like in the late 19th and early 20th century. See attached powerpoint
Hard to recognize the beautiful town Dacca was even in the late 1970s to the urban eyesore it has become today.
Enjoy!
