Bangladesh Independence Day 2019

Today’s Doodle celebrates Independence Day in Bangladesh, the South Asian nation situated on the Bay of Bengal and a deltaic nation with almost 700 Rivers flowing through it!

On this day in 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, often titled Bangabandhu (which translates to “Friend of Bengal”), signed a declaration that made the former East Pakistan the sovereign and independent country of Bangladesh with its own unique language and culture. This founding document followed Bangabandhu’s historic speech, delivered on March 7.

A public holiday in Bangladesh, Independence Day is commemorated with parades, fairs, and concerts as well as patriotic speeches. A festive spirit fills the capital city of Dhaka, where the Bangladesh flag flies proudly, and many government buildings are lit up with the National Colors: Green and Red. The Green symbolizes Bangladesh’s abundant Flora and the potential of the nation’s youth while the Red Circle in the middle of the flag represents the sun rising over the relatively new and developing country.

Joy Bangla!
