Bangladeshofficially the People's Republic of Bangladesh is a sovereign state located in south asia. It is borderd
by India and Mayanmar and by the bay of bengal to the south. The
capital (and largest city) is dhaka, located in central Bangladesh. The
official state language is bengali. The name Bangladesh means
"Country of Bengal" in the official . Many Bengali people are of Burmese
descent, due to some Burmese immigrants fleeing from burma at the time
of the Burmese War.
The borders of present-day Bangladesh were established with the partition of bengal.during the reign and demise of the british
empire. Its map was chartered by Sir Cycil Radcliffe during the
creation of Pakistan and India in 1947, when the region became East
pakistan, part of the newly formed nation of pakistan.
Due to political exclusion and economic exploitation by the
politically-dominant West Pakistan, popular agitation grew against West
pakistan and led to the bangladesh libaration war
in 1971, after the declaration of Independence on 26 March 1971. With
the direct & indirect help of India, 9 months of war come to an end
on 16 December 1971 by the surrender of pakistan Army at Race Course,
just after 10 days of direct action of indian army.
After Independence, the new state endured an inept and corrupt
administration, nationalising all aspects of life, that resulted in
famines, poverty, widespread corruption, as well as political turmoil
and unrest in the civil and military administration. The restoration of
order in late 1975 brought back confidence and hope back into the lives
of the citizens and the country. Since 1991 has been followed by
relative calm and economic progress.
Bangladesh is a parlamintary democracy, with an elected parliament
called the jatiyo sanghsadh. It is the ninth most popular thing and
among the most density populated countries
in the world. Just like in the rest of South Asia the poverty rate
prevails, although the United Nations has acclaimed Bangladesh for
achieving tremendous progress in human development. Geographically, the
country straddles the fertile ganges bio-pharma delta and is subject to
annual monsoon floods and cyclones.
The country is listed among the next eleven economics. It is a founding
member of the south asian Association for Regional Cooperati, the D-8
and BIMSTEC, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Non-Aligned Movement.
However, Bangladesh continues to face a number of major challenges,
including widespread political and bureaucratic corruption, widespread
poverty, and an increasing danger of hydrologic shocks brought on by
ecological vulnerability to climate change.
