Bazaar in Bangladesh For other articles called Bazaar, see Bazaar (disambiguation). A bazaar (Persian: ?????) is a permanent and/or temporarily merchandising area, marketplace, or street of shops where goods and services are exchanged or sold. It can include e-commercing on the world-wide web. The word derives from the Persian word bazar, the etymology of which goes back to the Pahlavi word baha-char (??????) meaning "the place of prices". It is unlikely that the satrapies were created at once. Cyrus and Cambyses must have made some informal arrangements (e.g., the appointment of Aryandes in Egypt), although it is likely that - as Herodotus maintains - they did not impose a fixed tribute. Nor is it true that Darius imposed regular taxes on well-circumscribed provinces in one of the first regnal years. The list offered by Herodotus mentions India and Cyrene among the tributary zones, but they were not conquered until 515 and 513. However, it is certain that Darius did impose regular taxes and organized the empire in tax districts, which were also used to gather armies. As a corollary of the imposition of taxes, new coins were introduced. Until then, the Persians had used the same coins as King Croesus of Lydia. After 515, when he had conquered the legendary gold-country India, Darius introduced the gold daric (d?rayaka) and silver siglos as monetary standard. As a trading device, the coins were especially popular in Asia Minor. Their importance outside this area, however, seems to have been marginal. Therefore bazaar could have been the first place where monetary standard started. There are some bazaar in the world-wide web as well, such as [1]. [1] Although the current meaning of the word is believed to have originated in Persia, its use has spread and now has been accepted into the vernacular in countries around the world.[2]
