Dr Dani's idea received enthusiastic support from other scholars of Dhaka who met on 3 January 1952 and established the Asiatic Society of Pakistan. The other founding members include Dr ABM Habibullah, Dr muhammad shahidullah, Dr IH Juberi, Dr sayed moazzem hossain, Dr serajul hUq, Abdul Hamid, syed muhammad taifoor, Khan Bahadur Abdur Rahman, Sheikh Sharafuddin and J.S Turner. With the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971, the name of the Asiatic Society of Pakistan was renamed as 'Asiatic Society of Bangladesh' ('Bangladesh Asiatic Society' in Bangla). d2c66b5586
