Welcome to the Presentation on An Overview of Bangladesh 5. Location & Map of Bangladesh 6. The history of Bangladesh is often described as a history of conflicts, power shifts and disasters. The first Muslims came to the Bengal area around 13th Century CE seizing control and establishing independent rule. During the 15th Century many European traders began coming to the region. The Portuguese came first, followed by the Dutch, French and then the British. At first the Europeans exerted only economic influence over South Asia. However by the late 1750's with the defeat of the last Muslim leader of Bengal, the British imposed political rule over the region as well. The British controlled the area known as West Bengal for nearly two hundred years. 7. In 1945, at the close of World War II, the British were strongly pressured to reduce the size of their empire. Viceroy Lord Mountbattan was assigned the task of restoring the subcontinent's sovereignty. He worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi to unite the two major religious groups of the area, Hindus and Muslims. Despite Gandhi's even-handed approach, Muslims were concerned that an independent India would be dominated by Hindus. Considering an agreement between the two groups to be impossible, Mountbatten decided to partition the subcontinent. 8. In June 1947 the United Kingdom declared it would grant full dominion status to two successor states: India and Pakistan. India would become the Hindu state and Pakistan, the Muslim state. Pakistan would consist of two non- continuous areas: Punjab in the west and Bengal in the east. For months following the partition, a horrific bloody flight took place as Hindus moved out of both wings of Pakistan and into India So Muslims moved out of India and into the new Muslim states. 9. The two regions, became known as West Pakistan (Punjab) and East Pakistan (Bengal). Besides sharing the Muslim faith the two areas had little in common. They were separated by nearly 1,600 km of Indian land, spoke different languages (Urdu in the West, Bangla in the East) and had different cultural histories. As the capital city was in West Pakistan, the East thought that the country was being unfairly ruled. Finally, the government declared that 'Urdu and only Urdu' would be the national language of all Pakistan. This was a language that virtually no one in East Pakistan spoke. 10. Through the Language Movement of 1952 to recognize Bengali as a state language, people wanted, more than ever, independence. In the 1971 national elections a political party that supported the separation of West and East Pakistan won the majority. The President of Pakistan refused to let that party form the government of Pakistan. Riots quickly followed and the independent State of Bangladesh was quickly announced. Pakistan, in turn, sent troops to suppress the uprising. 11. People protesting against new unfair laws. 12. The memorial built to commemorate the language martyrs. 13. Every February 21, many people walk barefoot to the Minar and lay wreaths of flowers to commemorate the martyrs. 14. On the 26th of March 1971 , the 9 month of war for Independence began. The Pakistan Army began their genocide by attacking the innocent Bengalis of Dhaka city. The Pakistani army massacred 35,000 Bengali citizens. During the nine month struggle which followed an estimated 3 million Bengalis died and 10 million refuges fled into India. The Indian Army launched a massive offensive against the Pakistani forces to support the Bangladesh movement . On December 16, 1971, the Pakistan army surrendered. 15.

National Flag The national flag of Bangladesh is bottle green in colour and rectangular in size. It bears a red circle on the background of green. The colour in the background represents the greenery of Bangladesh while the red circle symbolizes the rising sun and the sacrifice of lives in our freedom fight. At the very outset the flag had a different look. There was a golden coloured map of Bangladesh at the centre of the red circle. This was the original design of the flag of Bangladesh under which the valiant freedom fighters fought during the liberation war. 18. National Anthem My Bengal of gold, I love you Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute, In Spring, Oh mother mine, the fragrance from your mango-groves makes me wild with joy- Ah, what a thrill! In Autumn, Oh mother mine, in the full-blossomed paddy fields, I have seen spread all over - sweet smiles! Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection and what a tenderness! What a quilt have you spread at the feet of banyan trees and along the banks of rivers! Oh mother mine, words from your lips are like Nectar to my ears! 19.
