I’m unable to find specific historical information about “Kanaiya Bazar” in Cox’s Bazar. It’s possible that the name refers to a local market or area not widely documented in available sources. However, I can provide an overview of the history of Cox’s Bazar, which might offer some context.
Historical Background of Cox’s Bazar:
• Early History: In the early 9th century, the greater Chittagong area, including present-day Cox’s Bazar, was under the rule of Arakan kings until its conquest by the Mughals in 1666. During his journey to Arakan, Mughal Prince Shah Shuja passed through the region and was captivated by its beauty, leading his entourage to camp there. A place named Dulahazara, meaning “one thousand palanquins,” still exists in the area, commemorating this event.
• Colonial Era: The name “Cox’s Bazar” originates from Captain Hiram Cox, an officer of the British East India Company. In the late 18th century, he was appointed Superintendent of the Palonki outpost (now Cox’s Bazar) to manage the rehabilitation of Arakanese refugees. His efforts in refugee rehabilitation were significant, and to honor his contributions, a market (bazar) was established in his name.
• Municipal Development: Cox’s Bazar was established as a municipality in 1869 during British rule. Post-independence, it became part of East Pakistan and later Bangladesh. The town has since evolved into a prominent tourist destination, renowned for its long unbroken sea beach and natural beauty.
If you have more specific details or context about “Kanaiya Bazar,” such as its exact location or any notable landmarks, please provide them, and I would be glad to offer more targeted information.
