4. Welcome to the
Presentation
on
An Overview of
Bangladesh

7. Location & Map of Bangladesh

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. People protesting against new unfair laws.

16. The memorial built to commemorate the language martyrs.

17. Every February 21, many people walk barefoot to the Minar and lay
wreaths of flowers to commemorate the martyrs.

18. On the 26th of March 1971 , the 9 month
of war for Independence began.
The Pakistan Army
began their genocide by attacking the
innocent Bengali’s 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.

19. Soldiers training for the war

21. Bangladesh celebrates
Independence Day
on the 26th March
every year
When it was all over, Bangladesh had become the 139th country
in the world.

22. 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.

23. 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!
