Dhaka is one of the most chaotically busy cities in the world. It is a city with more than 18 million population. Dhaka is the heart of Bangladesh considering its economic, political, and cultural significance. Dhaka is also one of the oldest cities in the Indian Subcontinent. During the Mughal era Dhaka became the center of Muslin trade in South Asia and was regarded as one of the most prosperous cities in the Indian Subcontinent. Thus Dhaka is packed with magnificent Mughal architectures including gardens, tombs, mosques, palaces and fort. Under the British Empire, Dhaka became an important administrative and educational center in Eastern Bengal and Assam. After British rule had ended, Dhaka became the capital of East Pakistan and finally in 1971 Dhaka was crowned as the capital of an independent Bangladesh.
