Ware culture (abbreviated NBPW or NBP) of the Indian Subcontinent (c. 700–200 BC) which was
an Iron Age culture developed beginning around 700 BC and peaked from c. 500–300 BC, coinciding
with the emergence of 16 great states or mahajana padas in Northern India, and the subsequent rise
of the Mauryan EmpireThe eastern part of ancient India, covering much of current days Bangladesh
was part of one of such mahajana padas the ancient kingdom of Anga which flourished in the 6th
century BCE.
 MODERN
Islam is the largest religion of Bangladesh, the Muslim population is approximately 148.6 million,
which is the fourth largest Muslim population in the world (after Indonesia Pakistan and India),
constituting 90.4% of the total population as of 2010.[ Religion has always been a strong part of
identity, but this has varied at different times. A survey in late 2003 confirmed that religion is the first
choice by a citizen for self-identification atheism is extremely rare.[4]Bangladesh is a secular state,
however the United Nations has recognised the country as mainly moderate Muslim
democratic country.

35. Independence
 Previously known as East Pakistan, the war for independence in
1971 brought about the establishment of People’s Republic of
Bangladesh with the help of India.
 Problems after Independence: famines, natural disasters,
prevailing poverty (later tackled with Education and Population
policies), political turmoil, and military coups.
 Restoration of democracy in 1991.
 Constitution was given in 1992.

37. Economy and foreign relations
of Bangladesh
 The foreign relations of People's Republic of Bangladesh share
the Bangladeshi government's policies in its external relations with the
international community. The country pursues a moderate foreign policy that
places heavy reliance on multinational diplomacy especially at the United
Nations and World Trade Organization (WTO). Since independence in 1971,
the country has stressed its principle of friendship towards all, malice towards
none in dictating its diplomacy. As a member of the Non-Aligned Movement
Bangladesh has tended to not take sides with major powers. Since the end of
the Cold War, the country has pursued better relations with regional
neighbors.
