Bangladesh has an illustrious history of that goes back by thousands of years. It has witnessed grandeur, opulence and prosperity as well as destitution, oppression, and the brutality of some ravaging struggles over the centuries. The following is a web site on the history of Bangladesh from the very early history of the Bengal, the long era under the British Rule, the Pakistani regime and finally its independence through its historic liberation struggle of 1971. Bangladesh lies between
20' 34' and 23 36' north latitude and 88' 1' and 92' 41' east longitude.
The great Himalayas stand as the northern ramparts, while the southern
frontier is shaped by the picturesque Bay of Bengal. On the west lies the
expansive plains (West Bengal) of the Ganges of India and on the eastern
frontier lies the forest of Myanmar (Arakan Province) and India (Tripura and
Assam hills). This collage of geographical precincts delineate a low-lying plain
of about 144,000 sq. km. (55,598 sq. miles) criss-crossed by innumerable brooks,
rivers, rivulets and streams leading from the Bay of Bengal. Mighty rivers the
Padma, Jamuna, Meghna, Karnaphuli and their numerous branches flow through the
low lying plains of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is an evergreen country where the
land is fertile and nature is bounteous. This site also contains some historic documents and numerous pictures highlighting its Independence War of 1971.
