Armanitola

Armanitola (Bengali: আরমানিটোলা, lit. Armenian Quarter) is an area in the old city of Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. The district takes its name from the Armenian settlement that surrounded an Armenian church there.[1][2][3][4]

First Public Meeting at Armanitola Maidan

The first public meeting of Awami Muslim League was held on 11 October at Armanitola Maidan. Muslim League workers were preventing this meeting. Even Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman failed to convince the workers of Muslim League to get a microphone. Suddenly, Yar Mohammad Khan of Rai Shaheb Bazar intervened as Sheikh mujibur Rahman requested him. Yar Mohammad raised his fist and hit the Muslim League workers and took the microphone. Huge followers of Yar Mohammad joined from Rai Shaheb Bazar and kicked out the Muslim league for good. This incident was enough to establish Awami League in Dhaka city.[5]

Attractions

gollark: I expect it to get fun if they ever end up out of sync and download two different things to one file.
gollark: My libraries just have a minified line at the top for downloading dependencies they need.
gollark: CC has many problems for this, like:* Most users are kind of noobish and will just use the simplest solution* There's already a massive patchwork of approaches (mostly just direct download)* People will be annoyed at more installation steps since probably you'll end up installing the package manager for one application you want* Libraries are crazy too - most people pass around old pastebin links
gollark: Luarocks is for libraries.
gollark: They have standards bodies and then someone goes off and does their own thing and that gets popular and then they try to merge the popular thing with the standard so we get weird bodges.
