500			_aDacca: A Record of Its Changing Fortunes, written by historian Ahmad Hasan Dani and published in 1956 (with an expanded second edition in 1962), provides a comprehensive historical and urban analysis of the development of Dhaka. The work traces the city's transformation across major historical eras, beginning with its early roots under the Kamrup and Sena dynasties, progressing through its golden age as the Mughal provincial capital of Jahangir Nagar, and outlining its administrative shift during British colonial rule—marked by the 1905 Partition of Bengal and the founding of the University of Dacca in 1921. Beyond its political narrative, the book serves as a vital architectural and geographical record, detailing the physical expansion of the city along the Buriganga River, the emergence of prominent commercial centers like Chauk Bazar and Sadar-Ghat, and the structural planning of its historical neighborhoods.
