Its people have carried forward values of unity, service, and progress, not only enriching Sylhet but also building strong connections across the UK diaspora.

This book is a gift to our children, ensuring they inherit the stories of courage, struggle, and community spirit that have shaped us for centuries. By preserving this history, we strengthen the bond between Beanibazar, Sylhet and our community here in the UK.”
