The Unpublished Part of Dufferin Report, 1888

Abstract

Dufferin Report is the product of an investigation into the conditions of the depressed classes of Bengal in the late nineteenth century which is very wellknown to the economic historians of Bengal. But unfortunately the part of Dhaka could not have been included in it for unknown reason. Curiously enough, the author has discovered this part in the Dhaka District Collectorate Record Room. The object of this article is to inform the researcher about its contents which has hitherto remained unknown.
