All you need to know about the history of the BANGLADESH flag and its colours!

The Bangladesh flag consists of a green background with a red circle off-centre on the flagpole side. It is one of the symbols of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries in the world. This vexillary symbol was adopted in 1972, one year after the independence of East Bengal (Bangladesh) from Pakistan.

The green background represents Bangladesh's agriculture, vitality and youth. The colour red represents the blood colour of the Bengalis killed in the conflicts with Pakistan. This red disc also represents a sun, a sign of renewal and hope for the Bangladeshi nation!
