A Brief History of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, one of the south Asian countries got independence from the colonial occupation of Pakistan in December,1971 by the steel-hard, organized leadership of Sheikh Muzibur Rahman. In 1947, undivided India gave birth two independent countries, Pakistan and India, strengthening by the disputed hypothesis of two nations' theory, which interpreted as two pieces of lands were required for the people with two religions, Hinduism and Islam. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma) worked hard to transform his dream of undivided India into reality but unfortunately the drama was concluded by his mournful killing as the consequence his efforts did not watch the face of success. Bangladesh broke down her fundamental religious fence and established herself on the pillars of democracy, socialism, nationalism and secularism.
