Sylhet was the main source for 'Lascars', for the British government during the colonial period.
Lascars were sailors or soldiers, who were employed on British and European ships from the 16th century to the 20th century.
The British took over Sylhet in 1765. It was a crucial point for the British army in capturing the Northeast of India and upper part of Burma. The first Tea plantation was started in Sylhet, by the British in 1857.
