KNOWLEDGE OF Sylhet
Sylhet is a city in North-eastern Bangladesh. The city is the capital of Sylhet Division (Sylhet bibhag) and of Sylhet District (Sylhet zila). The population of the city is approximately 290.000.
Sylhet is an ancient settlement. Many historians think that Sylhet or Sreehatta (enriched marketplace) was an expanded commercial center from the ancient period. In the 14th century a Muslim saint from Yemen, Hazrat Shah Jalal, and his comrades (reportedly numbering 360) triumphed over Sylhet and began to spread Islam. (According to some Sylhetis, Shah Jalal originally came from Konya in Turkey.) Shah Jalal died in Sylhet; his tomb is a revered shrine in Bangladesh.
Places of interest include Stone monument of Jaintapur, Mound of Gharduara, Gaiyabi Mosque, tombs of Hazrat Shah Jalal and Shah Paran, Abu Torab Mosque, Nawabi Masque, Mughal Mosque at Akhalia, Dhaka Dakshmin Temple, Tin Mandir (trio temple).
Sylhetis are also noted for speaking a markedly different dialect of Bengali which is sometimes difficult to understand for people used to standard Bengali.
Sylhet is noted as the home of most Bangladeshi migrants to the United Kingdom.
Certain parts of the United Kingdom are heavily populated by people from Sylhet, namely Whitechapel in London (the home of Royal London Hospital and the Blind Beggar pub).
The town of Sylhet is twinned with St Albans, United Kingdom.
Sylhet is now a major city in Bangladesh with the flow of foreign currency from Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRB). The construction industry is booming with many shopping centres and apartments being built to very lavish standard.
