Bangladesh

History / Hindu Epic

The Earliest mention of Bangladesh is found in the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata (the story of a great battle in the 9th century B.C.). Evidence also suggests that there was a strong Mongoloid presence as well.

Soon after, in the 5th and 6th centuries B.C., came the Aryans from Central Asia and the Dravidians from Western India. Then came the Gupta, Pala, Sena rulers, who were Buddhists and Hindus.

Unofficially, we come for the half-priced drinks and to share conversation.
