Baha'is of Bangladesh: A short history of the Baha'i Religion and its community in Bangladesh

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextProducer: Amazon Digital Services 2015Online resources: Abstract: I first heard of the word “Baha’i” as a student in Karachi in the 1960s. At that time “Irani hotels” were an integral part of Karachi scene. These were restaurants and tea shops owned by Iranian immigrants, some of whom had been in the country since 1900s or even earlier. Baha’i tea shops could be easily distinguished from those owned by Shia Muslims or Zoroastrians because they usually had the twelve Baha’i principles prominently displayed.
