PASSAGE 1:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, stands on the bank of one of the channels of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from the sea. The city is also known as Dacca. There are separate articles on the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. It is an ancient city with many monuments of the 17th-century Mogul period. The Lal Bagh camp was begun by a son of the emperor Aurangzeb in 1684. There are more than 700 mosques, including one built as far back as 1456. A Christian church was built by a Portuguese mission in 1677 at a time when Dhaka was the capital of Bengal and a great centre of trade, attracting English, French, and Dutch traders. In the 18th and 19th centuries Dhaka lost its importance as its chief trade, that is muslin (a soft cotton fabric), declined and another town became the capital. In 1905 it became the capital of East Bengal for a time, and in 1947 it became Pakistan's eastern capital. When East Pakistan broke away in 1971 and announced its independence as Bangladesh, Dhaka was one of the first places taken over by the Pakistan army and one of the last to be surrendered by it. The capital has fine modern buildings, including a university, many schools, an airport and hotels. Many of the new buildings are grouped round the Ramna, a large park. An industrial area stretches for 16 kilometres (10 miles) to the river port of Narayanganj. Dhaka is the industrial centre of Bangladesh and the city has always been noted for its cottage industries.
