Introduction:
OF
BANGLADESH
Bangladesh is situated on the north-eastern side of the South Asian subcontinent and is bordered by India in the east, west and north; by a small part of Myanmar in the southeast and by the Bay of Bengal in the south. Bangladesh is mainly a flat alluvial plain, criss-crossed by the world's three mighty river systems, namely the Padma, the Jamuna and the Meghna and their innumerable tributaries. The borders of present-day Bangladesh were established with the partition of Bengal and India in 1947, when the region became East Pakistan, part of the newly formed nation of Pakistan. However, it was separated from the western wing by 1,600 km (994 mi) of Indian Territory. Bangladesh achieved independence in 1971 after 9 months of liberation war with West Pakistan. Today, Bangladesh is a secular, democratic republic country. Bangladesh is an agriculture based country with a huge population about 164.4 million. Its area is about 147,570 km. Its a country of six seasons.
History:
Five major Hindu and Buddhists dynasties ruled ancient Bengal. After the Hindu and Buddhists, Muslim dynasties ruled Bengal till 1757. European traders arrived here in the 15th century, and their influence grew until the British East India Company gained control of Bengal following the Battle of Plassey in 1757. They ruled as about 200 hundred years and finally they accept defeat and handover the power to the local political parties. They divided the whole country in two parts, one is India and another one is Pakistan. But they did a very tricky thing; they divided the Pakistan part in East and West Pakistan and gave the ruling power to West Pakistan. From the very beginning the west Pakistanis exploited us in several ways. This caused a war in 1971. After nine months of liberation war, in 16 December 1971 we became a liberal country.
To be environmentally sustainable:
Over the next 15 years, an increased size of the population, greater urbanization and economic growth will present environmental challenges such as increased levels of soil degradation and industrial wastewater, a rise in domestic sewage and hazardous wastes, and a depletion of our water and coastal resources. Increased levels of air and water pollution and the loss of natural habitats primarily due to deforestation and encroachment of wetlands will also emerge as some of the potential negative environmental consequences of Bangladeshs growth over the coming years. Failing to take note of these environmental consequences and to take the necessary measures to counter them will compromise my vision of sustained prosperity and good health for all.
There are lots of other problems like Political, economical, discrimination etc. I hope we might have a sustainable corruption and collision free political system. If we can remove the corruption from our system then our economy will be in a good position. We have some other problems like dowry, urbanization, communication, electricity, water, gas etc. I think if all the people and Government are eager to make a good, problem free prosperous nation then it is possible to make our dream true to have a prosperous country in near future.
