    They were a old brahmin family (maternal side) who converted to Islam during British rule, they had to give up some of their estates but, they retained most of it because of this act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Be...cy_Act_of_1950.
    They were Zamindars of this city http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chittagong

    Some of the more interesting ones: tailor, cobbler, jeweler, loanshark, butcher (me, for a time being), chauffeur, priest, carabinieri officer. The rest are either white-collar or teaching jobs.
