In 750, Gopala become the first ruler of the Pala Dynasty, the first independent Buddhist
Dynasty of this land, now called Bangladesh. It prevailed an era of stability and prosperity. In the
13th century A.D. the Buddhists and Hindus were swamped by the flood of Muslim conquerors
and the tide of Islam up to 18th century. Sometimes there were independent rulers like the
Hussain Shahi and Ilyas Shahi dynasties, while at other times they ruled on behalf of the
Imperial seat of Delhi.
From the 15th century, the Europeans, namely Portuguese, Dutch, French and British traders
exerted as economic influence over the region. British political rule over the region began in
1757 A.D., when the last Muslim ruler of Bengal was defeated at Palassey.
In 1947 the subcontinent was partitioned into India and Pakistan. Present Bangladesh became the
Eastern Wing of the then Pakistan. But the movement for autonomy of East Pakistan started
within a couple of years because of language and cultural differences and economic disparity
between the two wings.
Independence, after nine months of war, the Pakistani occupation forces surrendered in Dhaka on
16th December as in 1971 after killing an estimated three million people. Due to the heroic
resistance and supreme sacrifices of the valiant freedom fighters Bangladesh finally became an
independent sovereign state. Now we know, BANGLADESH.
Father of the Nation Bangahandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the founder- president of
Bangladesh. He was subsequently assassinated on 15th August, 1975 by a group of conspirators.

The southern Chittagong area, including Cox's Bazar, was under the rule of Arakan kings from
the early ninth century until its conquest by the Mughals in 1666 AD.[6] When the Mughal
Prince Shah Shuja was passing through the hilly terrain of the present-day Cox's Bazar on his
way to Arakan, he was attracted to its scenic and captivating beauty. He commanded his forces
to camp there. His retinue of one thousand palanquins stopped there for some time. A place
named Dulahazara, meaning "one thousand palanquins", still exists in the area. After the
8
Mughals, the place came under the control of the Tipras and the Arakanese, followed by the
Portuguese and then the British.
The name Cox's Bazar originated from the name of a British East India Company officer,
Captain Hiram Cox, who was appointed as the Superintendent of Palonki (today's Cox's Bazar)
outpost. He succeeded Warren Hastings, who became the Governor of Bengal after the British
East India Company Act in 1773. Cox was mobilised to deal with a century-long conflict
between Arakan refugees and local Rakhine people at Palonki. The Captain had rehabilitated
many refugees in the area but died in 1799 before he could finish his work. To commemorate
that, a market was established and named after him, called Cox's Bazar (market of Cox).
