How did a strategic river settlement transform into the formidable capital of Mughal Bengal? Welcome to Akhara Study! In this detailed history class, we explore মুঘল ঢাকার উত্থান (The Rise of Mughal Dhaka), breaking down how Dhaka evolved into one of the most powerful administrative and commercial centers of the Mughal Empire. Learn about the military strategy of Subahdar Islam Khan Chishti (Islam Khan I), who shifted Bengal's capital to Dhaka in 1610 and named it Jahangirnagar in honor of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Discover how Dhaka’s unique river network and the Buriganga River acted as natural fortresses against Magh (Arakanese) and Portuguese pirates, paving the way for unprecedented urbanization, riverine naval dominance (Nawwara), and global trade driven by Dhaka’s world-renowned muslin.
