Bangladesh came to today 's shape through a long history of political evolution. Bengal was probably the wealthiest part of the subcontinent up till the 16th century. The area 's early history featured a succession of Indian empires, internal squabbling, and a tussle between Hinduism and Buddhism for dominance. All of this was just a prelude to the unstoppable tide of Islam which washed over northern India at the end of the 12th century. Mohammed Bakhtiar Khalzhi from Turkistan captured Bengal in 1199 with only 20 men. That was just the beginning. The journey of Bangladesh goes on.

Before the cultures we have for instant, ‘pohela boishakh’, ‘pohela falgun ‘ was celebrated in a
