Where is Bangladesh located?

Answer 1

Bangladesh is located in the low-lying Ganges-Brahmaputra River Delta or Ganges Delta. This delta is formed by the confluence of the Ganges (local name Padma or Pôdda), Brahmaputra (Jamuna or Jomuna), and Meghna rivers and their respective tributaries. The alluvial soil deposited by these rivers has created some of the most highly fertile plains of the world. Bangladesh is subject to annual monsoon floods and cyclones.

Bangladesh 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.

Bangladesh is a secular parliamentary democracy. Direct elections involving all citizens over the age 18 are held every five years for the unicameral parliament.

Bangladesh pursues a moderate foreign policy that places heavy reliance on multinational diplomacy, especially at the United Nations. Bangladesh joined the Commonwealth of Nations in 1974 and continues to actively participate in meetings and discussions. In 1974, Bangladesh was admitted into the United Nations and has since been elected to serve two terms on the Security Council in 1978-1979 and 2000–2001.

Bangladesh played a lead role in founding the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in order to expand relations with other South Asian states. Since its establishment in 1985, Bangladesh has been allotted the post of Secretary General on two occasions.

Bangladesh is divided into six administrative divisions, each named after their respective divisional headquarters: Barisal (বরিশাল), Chittagong (চট্টগ্রাম), Dhaka (ঢাকা), Khulna (খুলনা), Rajshahi (রাজশাহী), and Sylhet (সিলেট).

Divisions are subdivided into districts (zila). There are 64 districts in Bangladesh, each further subdivided into upazila (subdistricts) or Thana ("police stations").

Most parts of Bangladesh are less than 12 metres (39 ft) above the sea level, and it is believed that about 10% of the land would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 metre (3 ft).

In September 1998 Bangladesh saw the most severe flooding the modern world has seen. Although only 1000 people were killed, 30 million were made homeless and 130,000 cattle were killed. 50,000 hectares of land were destroyed and 11, 000km of roads were damaged of destroyed. 66% of the country was underwater. There were several reasons for the severity of the flooding. Firstly there were unusually high monsoon rains, secondly the Himalayas shed off an equally unusually high amount of melt water, for which global warming could be held responsible although claims are unproven. Another reason for the flooding is that fact that 70% of the country is only 1meter above sea level. Also trees which usually intercept rain water were cut down for fire wood or to make space for animals.
