Bangladesh ( i/bld/ or i/bld/; Bengali: ), officiallythe People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali: GnoprojatontriBangladesh) is a country in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides, Burma(Myanmar) on the southeast and the Bay of Bengal to its south. Together with theIndianstate of West Bengal, it makes up the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. Thename Bangladesh means "Country of Bengal" in the official Bengali language.The present-day borders of the country were established during the demise of the British
Indian Empire in 1947, when Bengal was partitioned and the region became East Pakistan,part of the newly formed nation of Pakistan. However, it was separated from WestPakistan by nearly 1,500 km (about 900 mi) of Indian territory. Due to political exclusion,ethnic and linguistic discrimination, and economic neglect by the politically dominantwestern wing, popular agitation and rising nationalism resulted in theWar of Liberation in1971. After independence, Bangladesh proclaimed a secular democratic republic. However,political turmoil in 1975 led to a sixteen year period of martial law and quasi-military rule.The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative calm and economic
progress.

Between 1905 and 1911, an abortive attempt wasmade to divide the province of Bengal into two zones, with
Dhaka being the capital of the eastern zone. When the exit of
the British Empire in 1947, Bengal was partitioned along religious
lines, with the western part going to newly created India, and the
eastern part (Muslim majority) joining Pakistan as a province
called East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan), with its capital
at Dhaka.[17]In 1950, land reform was accomplished in East
Bengal with the abolishment of the
feudal zamindari system. Despite the economic anddemographic weight of the east, however, Pakistan's government
and military were largely dominated by the upper classes from
the west. The Bengali Language Movement of 1952 was the first
sign of friction between the two wings of Pakistan. Dissatisfaction
with the central government over economic and cultural issues
continued to rise through the next decade, during which
theAwami League emerged as the political voice of the Bengali-
speaking population. It agitated for autonomy in the 1960s, and
in 1966, its president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Mujib), wasjailed; he was released in 1969 after an unprecedented popular
uprising. In 1970, a massive cyclone devastated the coast of
East Pakistan, killing up to half a million people and the central
government responded poorly. The Bengali population's anger
was compounded when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, whose Awami
League won a majority in Parliament in the 1970 elections ] was
blocked from taking office.

the Pakistan Forces with support fromthe Mukti Bahinis consisting of Kaderia
Bahni, Hemayet Bahini, and others
financed and equipped by Indian Armed
Forces Maj. Gen. Sujat Singh Uban. The
Indian Army, assisted by Bangladeshi

On 11 January 2007, following widespread politicalunrest spearheaded by the Awami League, the Bangladeshcivil and military establishment supported the establishment ofa neutral caretaker government. The caretaker governmentwas appointed to administer the next general election. Thecountry had suffered from extensive corruption, disorder andpolitical violence. The caretaker government made it a priorityto root out corruption from all levels of government. To thisend, many notable politicians and officials, along with largenumbers of lesser officials and party members, were arrestedon corruption charges. The caretaker government held what ititself described as a largely free and fair election on 29
December 2008. The Awami League's Sheikh Hasina won witha landslide in the elections and took the oath of Prime Ministeron 6 January 2009.

Bangladesh lies between
latitudes 20 and 27N, and
longitudes 88 and 93E.
Bangladesh is in the low-lying Ganges Delta.
This delta is formed by the confluence of the
Ganges (local
name Padma orPdda), Brahmaputra (Jamuna
or Jomuna also known as "Yamuna"),
and Meghna rivers and their respectivetributaries. The Ganges unites with the Jamuna
(main channel of the Brahmaputra) and later
joins the Meghna to eventually empty into the
Bay of Bengal. The alluvial soil deposited by
these rivers has created some of the most fertile
plains in the world. Bangladesh has 57 trans-
boundary rivers, making water issues politically
complicated to resolve in most cases as the
lowerriparian state to India.

Most parts of Bangladesh are less
than 12 m (39.4 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 m(3.28 ft).
In southeast Bangladesh, experiments have
been done since the 1960s to 'build with nature'.
By implementing cross dams, the natural
accretion of silt has created new land. With
Dutch funding, the Bangladeshi governmentbegan to help develop this new land in the late
1970s. The effort has since become a
multiagency operation building roads, culverts,
embankments, cyclone shelters, toilets and
ponds, as well as distributing land to settlers. By
fall 2010, the program will have allotted some
27,000 acres (10,927 ha) to 21,000 families.The highest point in Bangladesh is in Mowdok
range at 1,052 m (3,451 ft) in the Chittagong Hill
Tracts to the southeast of the country. Cox's
Bazar, south of the city of Chittagong, has a
beach that stretches uninterrupted over 120 km
(75 mi).

O Straddling the Tropic of Cancer, Bangladeshi climate is tropical with amild winter from October to March, a hot, humid summer from March to June.Interestingly, the country has never frozen at any point on the ground, with arecord low of 4.5 degrees centigrade in the south west city ofJessore in thewinter of 2011.[A warm and humid monsoon season lasts from June toOctober and supplies most of the country's rainfall. Natural calamities, such
as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and tidal bores occur almost everyyear,combined with the effects ofdeforestation, soil degradation and erosion.The cyclones of 1970 and 1991 were particularly devastating. A cyclone thatstruck Bangladesh in 1991 killed some 140,000 people.[37]
O In September 1998, Bangladesh saw the most severe flooding in modernworld history. As the Brahmaputra, the Ganges and Meghna spilt over andswallowed 300,000 houses, 9,700 km (6,000 mi) of road and 2,700 km(1,700 mi) of embankment 1,000 people were killed and 30 million more weremade homeless with 135,000 cattle killed, 50 km2 (19 sq mi) of land destroyedand 11,000 km (6,800 mi) of roads damaged or destroyed. Two-thirds of the
country was underwater. There were several reasons for the severity of theflooding. Firstly, there were unusually highmonsoon rains. Secondly,the Himalayas shed off an equally unusually high amount of melt water thatyear. Thirdly, trees that usually would have intercepted rain water had beencut down for firewood or to make space for animals. [

O Bangladesh is a unitary state and parliamentary democracy. Direct
elections in which all citizens, aged 18 or over, can vote are held every
five years for the unicameral parliament known as Jatiya Sangsad. The
parliamentary building is known as the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban and was
designed by architect Louis Kahn. Currently the parliament has 350
members including 50 reserved seats for women, elected from single-
member constituencies. The Prime Minister, as the head of government,
forms the cabinet and runs the day-to-day affairs of state. While the
Prime Minister is formally appointed by the President, he or she must be
an Member of Parliament who commands the confidence of the majority
of parliament. The President is the head of state but mainly a ceremonial
post elected by the parliament.
O However the President's powers are substantially expanded during thetenure of a caretaker government, which is responsible for the conduct of
elections and transfer of power. The officers of the caretaker government
must be non-partisan and are given three months to complete their task.
This transitional arrangement is an innovation that was pioneered by
Bangladesh in its 1991 election and then institutionalised in 1996 through
its 13th constitutional amendment.

Jamaat-e-Islami but practice secular politics. Sheikh Hasina's Awami League aligns
with more leftist parties. Hasina and Zia are bitter rivals who have dominated politics
for over 15 years; each is related to one of the leaders of the independencemovement. Another important player is the Jatiya Party, headed by former military
dictator Ershad. The Awami League-BNP rivalry has been bitter and punctuated by
protests, violence and murder. Student politics is particularly strong in Bangladesh, a
legacy from the liberation movement era. Almost all parties have highly active student
wings, and student leaders have been elected to the Parliament.
O On 11 January 2007, following widespread political unrest, a caretaker government
was appointed to administer the next general election. The 22 January 2007 election
was postponed indefinitely and emergency law declared on 11 January 2007 as the
Army backed caretaker government ofFakhruddin Ahmed aimed to prepare a newvoter list and crack down on corruption. They also assisted the interim Government
of Bangladesh in a drive against corruption, which resulted in Bangladesh's position
in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index changed from the very
bottom, where they had been for 3 years in a row, to 147th in just 1 year. A large
alliance led by the Bangladesh Awami League won 29 December 2008 poll, in a
landslide victory. They got 230 seats among 300 seats in the parliament.

O The legal system of Bangladesh is primarily in accordance withthe English legal system although since 1947, the legal scenarioand the laws of Bangladesh have drifted far from the West owing todifferences in socio-cultural values and religious guidelines. InNovember 2007, Bangladesh has successfully separated the
Judiciary from the Executive but several black laws still influencethe rulers in creating Special Tribunals in using several blacklaws[clarification needed] including the Special Powers Act.
O The Constitution of Bangladesh was drafted in 1972 and hasundergone 15 amendments.[ The highestjudicial body isthe Supreme Court. Justices are appointed by the President. Thejudicial and law enforcement institutions are weak. Separation ofpowers, judicial from executive was finally implemented on 1November 2007. It is expected that this separation will make the
judiciary stronger and impartial. Laws are loosely based on Englishcommon law, but family laws such as marriage and inheritance arebased on religious scripts, and therefore differ between religiouscommunities.
