    Bangladesh Genocide Consequences

    In the beginning of 1971, West Pakistan attempted to eliminate the Bengali culture in Eastern Pakistan. With the formation of the Bengali nationalists creating their own country, the liberation war occurred in Bangladesh which caused the genocide. In reality the liberation war was a smoke screen to hide the genocide that was being committed on the Bengali people, from the Pakistan government. Over three million people were killed and over fifteen million people were displaced and seeking refuge in the nearby country of India for protection. The United Nations failed to act reasonable during the Bangladesh genocide in 1971 which resulted in long lasting negative impacts on the country such as the…

    In determining the course of Bangladesh’s foreign relations – the words of a famous Prussian /German statesman of the nineteenth century and renowned figure in world affairs Otto von Bismark may be appropriate - “if you have five neighbors, you need to be on good terms with at least three”. China and India are the two powerful nations in the region that are experiencing economic expansion of unforeseen magnitude. Both China and India are easing the tensions with their neighbors by putting to rest ‘old antagonisms’ for ensuring success in the pursuit of their policy for economic expansion.…

    The borders of modern Bangladesh took shape during the Partition of Bengal and British India in 1947, when the region became the eastern wing of the newly formed state of Pakistan. Following years of political exclusion, ethnic and linguistic discrimination, and economic neglect by the politically dominant western wing, a surge of popular agitation, nationalism and civil disobedience led in 1971 to the Bangladesh Liberation War, resulting in the separation of the region from Pakistan and the formation of an independent Bangladesh. After independence, the new state proclaimed a secular multiparty democracy. The country then endured decades of poverty, famine, political turmoil and numerous military coups. Since the restoration of democracy in 1991, the country has experienced relative calm and economic progress, though the country's main political parties remain polarized.…

    Doing Business in Bangladesh

    Overview What is today known as Bangladesh was established when Bengal separated from India in 1947. It was then named East Pakistan, part of the newly formed nation of Pakistan. Dissatisfaction fueled by political exclusion and ethnic discrimination by the dominant West Pakistan, culminated in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, which the Bengalis won due to the assistance of India, and the subsequent establishment of Bangladesh. The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative calm and economic progress. Bangladesh has a rich cultural heritage, which encompasses both old and new traditions, which aid in uniting Bangladeshis across both religious and ethnic divides. It is also the world’s most densely populated non-island nation. Though it is largely Muslim, the country has a sizable number of Hindus and other minorities. Bangladeshi Culture – Key Concepts and Values Identity - Bangladeshi culture assimilated over centuries and is an amalgamation of Hindu, Jainist, Buddhist and Islamic influences. Bangladeshi national identity is embedded in Bengali culture. Symbolically, Bangladeshi identity is centred on the 1971 struggle for independence from Pakistan. During that liberation struggle, the key elements of Bangladeshi identity focused on the importance of the Bengali mother tongue and the distinctiveness of a culture or way of life connected to the floodplains of the region. Community - Although progress has been made in terms of the advancement of women (the current Prime Minister is female), Bangladeshi society functions along patriarchal lines and major…
