5. Birth of Bangladesh
The boundaries of modern Bangladesh were established with the partition of Bengal in August 1947, when
British India was separated along religious, linguistic, and cultural lines. The western part of the region
became West Bengal, now a state in eastern India, and the eastern part became East Pakistan, as a part of
the newly formed dominion of Pakistan.
A pro-democracy movement in East Pakistan that thrived on Bengali nationalism and self-determination led
to the Liberation War and eventually the emergence of Bangladesh as a sovereign and independent nation in
1971.
What is Bangladesh famous for?
It is home to the world's largest river delta, which is formed by the Brahmaputra and the Ganges river.
Roaming Bengal tigers in the Sundarbans, a mangrove and swampland in the delta. For the longest natural
uninterrupted sea beach in Asia (Cox's Bazar beach), which is 150 km long. The Malnicherra Tea Estate, the
oldest tea garden in the subcontinent. Ancient historical Panam City. Ilish fish and Muslin gauze like
