Welcome!
Respected readers,
Bangladesh, officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh, is a country in South Asia. It is the eighth-most populous country in the world and is among the most densely populated countries with a population of nearly 170 million in an area of 148,460 square kilometres (57,320 sq mi). Bangladesh shares land borders with India to the north, west, and east, and Myanmar to the southeast. To the south, it has a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. It is narrowly separated from Bhutan and Nepal by the Siliguri Corridor, and from China by the mountainous Indian state of Sikkim in the north. Dhaka, the capital and largest city, is the nation's political, financial, and cultural centre. Chittagong, the second-largest city, is the busiest port on the Bay of Bengal. The official language of Bangladesh is Bengali while Bangladeshi English is also used in the government and official documents alongside Bengali.
Bangladesh has the eighth largest population in the world but ranks 92nd in terms of income. With a land area of about 56,000 square miles and a population of over 18 million, the country has a population density of 2,889 per square mile. 99% of the population speak Bengali as their mother tongue, and the literacy rate is about 75.2%.
Bangladesh became the first secular state in South Asia when its constitution was adopted in 1972.

Islam is practiced by about 91.1% of the population, followed by Hinduism (7.9%), Buddhism (0.6%), Christianity (0.3%), and other religions (0.1%).
Bangladesh is known for its natural beauty and has many popular tourist destinations, including Saint Martin Coral Island, Cox's Bazar Beach, Sajek Valley, Nafakum Waterfall, Sundarbans in Khulna, Ratargul in Sylhet, Nijhum Island in Noakhali, Tanguar Haor in Sunamganj, and Kuakata Beach.
