Introduction: Bangladesh is our homeland. It came into being on the 16th December 1971 after a bloody liberation war . It is our pride, it is our dream, and it is our life-blood.
Area and situation: Bangladesh lies on the eastern part of South Asia. It is surrounded by India on three sides north, east and west and by the bay of bangle on the south. It has a total land area of 1, 47, 70 square kilometers including rivers.
Population: Bangladesh is a small country with a big population of about eighteen cores. It is the most densely populated country in the world. The population problem is the one number problem in Bangladesh. Now Bangladesh has become a victim of the vicious circle of extreme poverty due to the population explosion.
Religion: there are people of many religions in Bangladesh. More than 80% of the people are Muslims. Besides this, there are Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians. They all live in great peace and harmony.
Climate: Bangladesh is a land of moderate climate. It belongs to the domain of a seasonal wind called monsoon. It has six seasons called summer, rainy season, early autumn, late autumn, winter, and spring. Each season lasts for two months. Each season comes with its own colors and adds beauty to nature. Nature assumes different pictures in different seasons.
Occupation and products: Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country. More than eighty percent of their populations depend on agriculture for their living. Rice is our main food crop. Jute and tea are our two main cash crops. Thousands of our people are working in foreign countries for want of job opportunities in the native land. Here there are much more people looking for employment than there are opportunities for employment. A great amount of remittances is flowing in everyday remitted by these overseas employees. Thus they are contributing a lot to the enrichment of our foreign exchange reserve fund.

There are talking birds, game birds, prey birds, water birds, guest birds; weaving birds and beautiful birds in Bangladesh they add charm and beauty to the flora and fauna of our country. The Doel is our national bird. Bangladesh is called the land of rivers with their uncounted tributaries. These rivers contribute much to add the natural beauty of Bangladesh. The Padma, the Meghna, the Jamuna, and the Karnafuli are the big rivers of Bangladesh. They provide us with a great variety of heart-touching and eye-catching sights, sounds, and beauty.
Education and culture: education is the backbone of the nation. Most of the people in our country are illiterate. They are ignorant of their rights and duties. The darkness of liilteracy has created a great obstacle to the way of our development. People of Bangladesh are simple and gentle. They have strong feelings of love, affection, and hospitality. Our mother tongue is Bangla. Bengali literature is very much developed. Our world poet Rabindranath Tagore, rebel poet Kazi nazrul Islam and Pollikabi Jasim Uddin are the outstanding poets of Bengali literature. Md. Nazrul Islam is our national poet.
Economic development: Bangladesh achieved independence in 1971. it became the successor of a burnt and shattered economy. Though we achieved the territorial freedom, we could not yet achieve economic emancipation. Most of the people of our country have to live below the poverty line. There are more people looking for employment than there are opportunities for employment. To speak the truth, we are now groping in the darkens of uncertainty in almost every sphere of our life.
Natural beauties: Bangladesh is called the darling child of nature. It is a treasure-trove of bounteous nature. Nature seems to have adorned Bangladesh lavishly by all her beauties and bounties. Whoever sets foot on this land, can never forget its beauty. A Canadian boy once visiting a village in Bangladesh for the first time exclaimed with wonder, ‘is this Bangladesh also?’ a great variety of sights, sounds, sounds, and coolers have made our motherland a Dreamland a land of surpassing beauties flowing with milk and money. Our beloved world poet Tagore claims,
“Nowhere would thou find such a land, queen of all lands, my beloved motherland.”
Conclusion: we love our country with all the warmth or our heart. Let us give vent to our feelings in the words of the poet,
“Land of our birth, we pledge to thee;Our love and toil in the years to be.”
