By the way Mikey have you visited 'Panam Nagar'? It is in 'Sonar Gaon' near Dhaka. This is a 600 hundred year old town (remnants of the wealth accumulated through export of 'Maslin Fabric', handicrafts, spices etc worldwide) badly needs to be preserved, probably qualifies to be declared as 'UNESCO Heritage Site'. I saw a Photography Exhibition on it at Drik Gallery, Dhaka. There is also a photographic book publication on it showing how the rich architecture of Panam Nagar is gradually being destroyed without preservation..... Definitely ‘Shakhari Bazaar’ needs to be preserved. but how to get the heritage funding?….
