3.Small cuts
Chhota Katra is an installation or building built during the reign of Shaista Khan. The building dates from 183 to 184 Construction began and was completed in 181. It was located east of Bara Katra on the banks of the river Buriganga. Although the building looks a lot like a big cutter, it is smaller in size than the big cutter and that is why it was named as small cutter. However, during the English period, some additions were made to it. In 1818, Missionary Leonard became the first English school in Dhaka. At present, of course, there is nothing left to say about the small katra except a broken building. Which just stands on a slender bullet like a huge taro. Numerous shops surround it in such a way that there is no way to understand that there was such an architecture of the Mughal period.
Use of small cutters: During the reign of Shaista Khan, small cutters were built for use in inns or administrative purposes. During the Company's tenure, Missionary Lee Oxnard opened the first English school in Dhaka in 1818 at Chhota Katra. In 1857, the first normal school in Dhaka was established here. In the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, Chhota Katra was in the possession of the Nawab family. And then coal and limestone factories were working in it.
Current status of small cutters: At present, small cutters have been almost destroyed. But still looking at its ruins, it is understood that there was such a beautiful Katra standing on the river bank during the Mughal period.

5.Bahadur Shah Park (Historic Site)
Naming of the park:
In the late eighteenth century there was an Armenian billiard club in Dhaka. Which the locals named Antaghar. The locals used to call the billiard ball Anta. From there came the word 'Antaghar'. Adjacent to the clubhouse was a field or ground known as Antaghar Maidan. After Queen Victoria took over the rule of India in 1858, the Commissioner of Dhaka Division read out a proclamation in this regard. Since then, the place has been named 'Victoria Park'. Until 1958, the park was known as Victoria Park.
After the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the British rulers hanged a number of revolutionary sepoys in a mock trial. Then the bodies of the sepoys were brought and hung on the branches of various trees in the ground to scare the people.
Bahadur Shah Park was renamed as Bahadur Shah Park in 1956 (1961) to commemorate the centenary of the Sepoy Rebellion. The Sepoy Rebellion was held to end the British rule and restore the rule of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II. Therefore, it was renamed as Bahadur Shah Park after him.

Description of the park: It was bought by the English in the first half of the nineteenth century. They turned it into a park and surrounded it with lahar and placed four spectacular cannons at its four corners.
Soon after the place became dilapidated, it was demolished and a field was built on the initiative of Nawab Abdul Gani. Many Armenians still lived around it. Even in 1840, it was a circular garden (according to historians) in a vacant lot in the middle of a few streets.
The patrons of the clubhouse were Nawab Abdul Gani and Nawab Ahsan Ullah of Dhaka. In addition to billiards, the English used to play racquet, tennis, badminton, and hang out at the club.
Party functions were also organized here. According to the history and old documents of the Dhaka Club, the Dhaka Club had one acre of land near Antaghar Maidan (Sutrapur Mouza: Khatian: 614, Plot 64-65). According to the old employees, the Dhaka Club used to pay rent for three acres of land in the area till 1952.
In the twenties of the twentieth century, when the power and influence of the Nawabs of Dhaka waned, their contribution to the club diminished. The English moved the Dhaka Club to the Shahbagh area for organizing horse races at the racecourse ground in Dhaka and other needs. This ground gained special fame in 1857.
On 22 November 1757, the British Marines attacked the fort at Lalbagh in Dhaka with the aim of disarming the native troops. But when the sepoys obstructed the battle. Wounded and fleeing soldiers were captured, convicted, and executed by a brief marshal.
After the trial, 11 sepoys were brought to Antaghar Maidan and publicly laughed at. The bodies have been hanging from trees here for many days to intimidate the locals. For a long time after this incident, the people of Dhaka were afraid to walk around this ground, because various ghost stories were spread about this place.
After suppressing the sepoy rebellion, the British erected a monument at Antaghar Maidan in memory of their troops. The Armenian Club later raised four British cannons at the four corners of the house and placed them around the park.
Nawab Abdul Gani had a personal contribution to the development of this park. After the death of his grandson Khwaja Hafizullah, his English friends raised money in memory of Mr.
Hafizullah and erected a memorial plaque here in 184. In 1956, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Sepoy Mutiny, a memorial was erected at this place on the initiative of the Dhaka Improvement Trust (DIT). 'Khwaja Hafizullah' Monument: Khwaja Hafizullah was the eldest son of Sir Khwaja Ahsanullah, Nawab of Dhaka.
Everyone respected and cared for him, thinking that he would be the next Nawab of Dhaka. But with the sudden death of Hafizullah in 174, the Nawab's family, that is, the city of Dhaka, was in mourning.
Nawab Ahsanullah fell ill at Putrasho. Nawab Ahsanullah, the patron of entertainment of the English, did not organize any entertainment for the sake of their son's mourning.
The English then erected a monument to the next generation to console the Nawab and to keep the memory of Khwaja Hafizullah alive. Large monuments made of granite were brought by ship from Calcutta, the then capital of India. Smooth around the pillar and made of chalk.
Introductory inscriptions are engraved on both sides of the beginning. The Khwaja Hafizullah Memorial Pillar was inaugurated by Chhota Lat Saheb of Bengal in a stylish ceremony at 4:30 pm on Tuesday, February 17, 175.

Description of the church: The church is seven hundred and fifty feet long, with four doors and seven windows. Next to it was a clock tower. It was built by Johannes Caru Piet Sarkis. The clock is said to have collapsed in the 1897 earthquake. The church had a large-sized bell. There is evidence that the sound of the bell could be heard from almost all parts of the city. After hearing the sound of this bell, most of the people of Dhaka would fix their time. This famous bell of the Armenian church came to a standstill in the 180's, which never rang again.
Description of Armenians: It is said that at present there are eighteen families of Armenian descent in Dhaka. However, the number of Armenians in Dhaka was never very high.
Although it is not known when the Armenians came to Dhaka, it is believed that when many people came to Dhaka from abroad to change their fortunes during the Mughal period, Armenians also came to Dhaka in the seventeenth century and settled in the region one by one.
Since then the region has been known as Armenia. Despite being a very small community in the first half of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Armenians were quite influential in the city of Dhaka. Because of this, they had wealth.
In the eighteenth century, the salt business was the exclusive domain of the East India Company. Contractors hire companies for salt production and distribution. Most of the salt contractors in East Bengal were Armenians. In addition to contracting, they were in control of the betel, jute, and cloth business. Many also had zamindari.

Most of the salt contractors in East Bengal were Armenians. In addition to contracting, they were in control of the betel, jute, and cloth business. Many also had zamindari.
Some of the most famous and influential Armenian families in nineteenth-century Dhaka are Poggs, Aratun, Paniati, Stephen, Lucas, Koza Michael, Manuk, Herni, Sirkor, and Sarkis. The basis of their wealth was zamindari and business. Being a foreigner can be a reason to buy zamindari - to achieve aristocracy and to be at the top of society.
These rich Armenians built all the palace-like houses for themselves in Dhaka. For example, the present Ruplal House in Farasganj belonged to Arun. Manuk lived in Sadarghat. The house where Dad is now is owned by Nicky Pogge. Later, Mr. Nicky's factory was built in Armenia.
Stephen's house was on Anna Street. Where the Taj Mahal cinema is, there was a waterfront building. In the middle of the nineteenth century, many Armenians turned to business. Tea, wine, European goods, banks, etc.
In 1856, Sirco introduced the first horse-drawn carriage in Dhaka, which was known as 'Thika Gari'. Within a few days, this business became quite frozen and over time it became the main vehicle of Dhaka. In the second half of the nineteenth century, many Armenians lost their lands. The Armenians were very conservative, but at the time there was a process of change.
They then leaned towards Western culture and many sold their zamindari and moved to Calcutta for business. As a result, in the last half of the nineteenth century, from the seventies onwards, the influence of the Armenians in communal terms began to wane.
At that time the Armenians involved themselves in various activities of Dhaka city and in the assembly. Nicky Pogge founded Pogge School. Aratun was the principal of Dhaka Normal School. Circus was on the first municipal committee of Dhaka. In 184-65, two of the nine commissioners of Dhaka Municipality were Armenians - J.G. N. Pogge and N.P. Pogge.

Church Premises: After settling in Armenitola, the Armenians built their church here. Armenians in Dhaka were buried after their deaths. Due to the narrowing of the perimeter of the Armenian church, the entire courtyard of the church and even the verandah floor were covered with many tombs. Most epitaphs or memorabilia contain the words of the Dharmagraha. Also on the tomb of Avetic Thomas, a Katchik, his wife bought a beautiful statue from Calcutta, which still survives. In the epitaph she referred to her husband as the ‘Best of Husbands’.
Establishment date: The present modern slaughterhouse memorial was inaugurated on 14th December 1999. Incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the memorial.
History: The killing of Buddhajibi by the Pakistani aggressors during the war of liberation is a heinous incident. Towards the end of the War of Liberation, a joint command was formed with the Indian Allied Forces and our Liberation Army.
This makes it possible to attack the invading forces simultaneously by land, sea, and air. In this they are easily up. Realizing defeat was certain, the Pakistani ruling clique proceeded to implement a heinous plan to make Bangladesh forever incompetent.
They thought that if this country was made incompetent, the backbone of the Bengali nation would be broken. For this reason, from the very beginning of the war of liberation, they killed the intellectuals, the bearers of the conscience, consciousness, mindfulness, tradition and culture of the Bengali nation. However, between 10 and 14 December, this barbarism and massacre took a terrible turn. With the help and guidance of the Pakistani ruling party, there is a class of local brokers in this country.
University teachers, journalists, playwrights, artists, etc. were abducted from their homes and the massacre took place.

At the same time, Nawab Alivardi Khan's two daughters Ghaseti Begum and Amena Begum were also brought. Both of them played a very important role during his father's reign.
Finally one day he was sent to Dhaka in the same boat with the maids. On that day, the guards were present at the Jinjira Palace on the banks of the Buriganga with the prisoners. It is to be noted that Nawab Alivardi Khan and his family had already found a place here.

When the boat was leaving Dhaka behind at the confluence of Buriganga and Dhaleshwari, the assassin Bakir Khan opened the hole of the boat and sank the boat. Before they understood anything, everyone sank in Buriganga.
