History of Bangladesh
Shelf by nono umasy
The history of Bangladesh is a tapestry of ancient civilizations, colonial struggles, and a quest for national identity, culminating in independence in 1971. Ancient Bengal was a hub of cultural and trade activities, influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism before the advent of Islam in the 12th century. The Mughal Empire brought a period of relative stability and prosperity in the 16th century. The British East India Company's control from the 18th century introduced Western education and legal systems but also economic exploitation. The Partition of British India in 1947 led to East Bengal becoming East Pakistan, a part of newly created Pakistan. However, linguistic and cultural differences fueled discontent, leading to the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, where Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation after a brutal conflict. Today, Bangladesh continues to navigate challenges of development, democracy, and cultural identity.
