About Asiatic
Society of Bangladesh
Established in 1952, the Asiatic Society had
been known as Asiatic Society of Pakistan, and since 1972
renamed as Asiatic Society of Bangladesh. In establishing the
Society, the leading role was played by Ahmad Hasan Dani, the
great archaeologist and Indologist of world repute. The other
scholars involved in the foundation of the Society were Muhammad
Shahidullah, ABM Habibullah, Abdul Halim, and many others. The
founding scholars of the Society intended to make the
organisation a centre of learning specialising on Asian studies.
