A FEW words of explanation are necessary as to the origin and object of this work. About two jfears ago, Colonel T. H. Hendley, I.M.S., CLE., Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, proposed tlie issue of a '^Medico-Topographical History" of each district in Bengal. I had collected a large amount of historical material and numerous photographs for that purpose. Much of this material was -not required for the work to be edited by Colonel Hendley. He therefore suggested that I might publish it separately by subscription, and obtained sanction. Until I reached England on furlough in June, 1901, I had no opportunity to arrange my notes in a coherent form. Further delay was due to the difficulty of choosing a method of reproducing the illustrlitions which would be reasonable in price and satisfactory in result.

The much-discussed question of the Partition of Bengal, however, has recently brought = it prominently before the general public, both in India and at home, and it is hoped that the story of its Capital, which the following pages attempt to relate in popular form, will be of special interest at the present time. The task of setting forth something of its history in a manner calculated to appeal to the general reader has not been without difficulty. Of the record of its earlier years, during Buddhist and Hindu supremacy, little that is authoritative has survived ; while so fast did events move, and so rapid were the changes that occurred in later days, that Mussulman ~°m annals are apt to degenerate into a confusing a] p*\ medley of unfamiliar names, or a bare recital of 3i Vi THE ROMANCE OF AN EASTERN CAPITAL the doings of Kings and Governors.

It is obviously your own institution that provides you the education facility at your door step. Pakistan, our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.

This message concerns not only the owners of the language from which it descended but all humanity. So it is necessary to translate this message into those languages for people from different cultures to understand. However, whether the Quran will be translated into other languages has been discussed throughout history and positive and negative opinions about the issue continue. As a Muslim-dominated country, Bangladesh has been working on the translation of the Quran since the 18th century. This article, firstly, discussed the historical process of the translation of the Quran into Bengali and then the translation of the Quran by Gholam Azam is examined as an example, who worked to understand and explain the Quran and reflect the effect of the Quran in social life. Keywords: Quran, Translation, Bangla Language, Gulam Azam. Introduction The Holy Quran is a divine guide that has shown guidance to all humanity since it was revealed. This book, which is the primary source of all knowledge globally guides the students of every branch of knowledge.
