Mr. F. R. Khan builder of tallest towers in the world of his time.

These are some Bangladeshis that are wonderful:

The Sears tower designed by Fazlur Khan:

Amongst his many achievements, Fazlur Khan helped in creating public opinion and amassing emergency fund for the people of Bangladesh during its War of Liberation. The Government of Bangladesh posthumously awarded him the Independence Day Medal, the country's highest state honour, in 1999 in recognition of his contributions, and a commemorative postal stamp was published in his memory.

But these are some Bangladeshis that are not so wonderful:

The last picture is fake and posted in Bangalgenocide which is also a scam website asking people money. M-16 was intentionally added to it.

That I cannot comment about - but I would imagine that followers of Bangla Bhai or members of Islami Chhatra Shibir would look quite similar.

members of Islami Chhatra Shibir would look quite similar.

And what would be the problem if they look like them? Having some anti Islamic paranoia! are you?

Obama Mentions Fazlur Rahman Khan
June 11, 2009 by TMO


CHICAGO, IL– In his historic address to the Muslim world President Obama made references to the contributions that Muslims have made to America. One of the accomplishments he listed was that an American Muslim “built our tallest building.”

He was referring to the famed architect Fazlur Rahman Khan, who designed Chicago’s Sear’s Tower. The Dhaka born Khan graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and joined the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in 1955, made partner there in 1966 and became a U.S. citizen a year later.

He also had several other accomplishments to his name including the John Hancock Center and the Hajj terminal in Jeddah.

In 1998, a street in Chicago was named after him. Bangladesh also put him on a stamp.

Really! He is from Besu Civil? Can imagine him doping in wolf(If I remember the name correctly!) hostel!

I bet he was a first bencher, very dedicated to his study & research & an ideal son (similar to Uttam kumar portrayed roles in Bengali movies), unlike most of the spoiled brats in Engineering colleges. With bhabi G (vitamin G) & Singhji (bangla from Farini) in abundance, impossible scale those heights without proper focus. I could have avoided my low grades in Engineering drawing if he was there to guide us.

I think, you have made a mistake. It is not me, but someone else, who said that he is also from Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur. However, I am from Faridpur in Bangladesh, also the native District of F.R. Khan.
