Bangladesh is situated in the north eastern part of South Asia. It came into existence as an independent state through the Liberation War of 1971. 26th March is its Independence Day.

The country having the land area of 1, 47, 570 sq. km. lies between 20o34Ñ and 26o38 Ñ north latitude, and 88o01 Ñ and 92o41 Ñ east longitude across the Tropic of Cancer. It is surrounded by Indian territory on three sides -- north, west and most part of the east, by Myanmar (Burma) on south-east corner, and by the Bay of Bengal on south. It is a riverine country. It has six seasons in a year ; every two months constitute one season.

Its daily temperature ranges from 10.00 to 12.00 Celsius in the cool months, and in the other months it varies between 28.00 and 40.00 Celsius. Annual rainfall ranges from 160 cm to 200 cm in the west, 200 cm to 400 cm in the south-east and 250 cm to 400 cm in the north-east. The country is densely populated area, 755 persons per sq. km. Its present population is 120 millions, of which nearly half is female. The literacy rate is 32.4%. Major part of the country is cultivable plain land. As a result, 68.5% of its population is farmer.

The earliest inhabitants of this land were Austro-Asiatic (shortly Austric) people. Later, the Dravidians from Western India joined them. Gradually people of other races like Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid migrated to this area one after another, who settled here permanently and lived together with its earlier inhabitants. In course of time mixed-marriages occurred among them, which resulted in the creation of a new race known as Bangalee.

The language also took a new form which is called Bangla (Bengali). This Bangla (Bengali) is now the national as well as state language of the country. It is the mother tongue of its entire people except the tribals, who are very few in numbers and live mostly in the border areas. They speak their own languages like Chakma, Marma, Manipuri, Garo, Hajong etc. They also speak Bangla in the society with the non-tribals. The educated people of the country can also speak English, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic etc. as and when necessary.

The religion of the majority people is Islam. Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity are also followed by a few. However, of the total population 88.3% are Muslims, 10.5% Hindus, 0.6% Buddhists and 0.3% Christians. The Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh is of unitary form.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh
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" and is written as বাংলাদেশ and pronounced ['baŋlad̪eʃ] (help·info) 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 km (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 area of approximately 144,000 km² is ranked ninety-fourth, making it one of the most densely populated countries in the world, or the most densely populated country if small island nations or city-states are not included. It is the third largest Muslim-majority nation, but has a slightly smaller Muslim population than the Muslim minority in India. Geographically dominated by the fertile Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, the country has annual monsoon floods, and cyclones are frequent. Bangladesh is one of the founding members of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), BIMSTEC, and a member of the OIC and the D-8.
