Bangladesh - officially the
People’s Republic of Bangladesh, is a country in South
Asia. It is surrounded by India on all sides except for a small
border with Myanmar to the far southeast and the Bay of Bengal to
the south. Together with the Indian state of West Bengal, it
makes up the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. The name
Bangladesh means "Country of Bengal" in the official Bengali
language.
The borders of Bangladesh were set by the Partition of India in
1947, when it became the eastern wing of Pakistan (East
Pakistan), separated from the western wing by 1,600 kilometres
(1,000 miles). Despite their common religion of Islam, the ethnic
and linguistic gulf between the two wings, compounded by an
apathetic government based in West Pakistan, resulted in the
independence of Bangladesh under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman in 1971 after the bloody Bangladesh Liberation War, in
which it was supported by India. The years following independence
have been marked by political turmoil, with thirteen different
heads of government, and at least four military coups.
The population of Bangladesh ranks seventh in the world, but its
land area is ranked ninety-fourth, making it one of the most
densely populated countries in the world.
