TheBengal Subah (Bengali: সুবাহ বাংলা,Persian:صوبه بنگاله), also referred to asMughal Bengal andBengal State (after 1717), was the largestsubdivision of theMughal Empire encompassing much of theBengal region, which includes modern-dayBangladesh, the Indian state ofWest Bengal, and some parts of the present-day Indian states ofBihar,Jharkhand andOdisha between the 16th and 18th centuries. The province was established following the dissolution of theBengal Sultanate, a major trading nation in the world, when the region was absorbed into the Mughal Empire. Bengal was the wealthiest region in the Indian subcontinent.

Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707) described Bengal Subah as 'the paradise of Nations' and the "Golden Age of Bengal". It alone accounted for 40% of Dutch imports from Asia. The eastern part of Bengal was globally prominent in industries such astextile manufacturing andshipbuilding, and it was a major exporter of silk and cotton textiles, steel,saltpeter, and agricultural and industrial produce in the world. The region was also the basis of the Anglo-Bengal War. (Full article...)

In 2022, the city area had a population of more than 5.6 million. The city is home to many large local businesses and plays an important role in theBangladeshi economy.

One of the world's oldest ports with a functionalnatural harbor for centuries, Chittagong appeared on ancientGreek andRoman maps, including onPtolemy's world map. It was located on the southern branch of theSilk Road. In the 9th century, merchants from theAbbasid Caliphate established a trading post in Chittagong. The port fell to the Muslim conquest of Bengal during the 14th century. It was the site of aroyal mint under theDelhi Sultanate,Bengal Sultanate andMughal Empire. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, Chittagong was also a centre of administrative, literary, commercial and maritime activities inArakan, a narrow strip of land along the eastern coast of the Bay of Bengal which was under strong Bengali influence for 350 years. During the 16th century, the port became aPortuguese trading post andJoão de Barros described it as "the most famous and wealthy city of the Kingdom of Bengal".

ACCTV still of the explosion after the crash

US-Bangla Airlines Flight 211 was a scheduledinternational passenger flight fromHazrat Shahjalal International Airport inDhaka, Bangladesh, toTribhuvan International Airport inKathmandu, Nepal, that crashed on 12 March 2018 while landing, killing 51 of the 71 people aboard. The aircraft, a 76-seatBombardier Q400 operated byUS-Bangla Airlines, burst into flames after the crash. The 20 surviving passengers were badly injured from the impact and the fire. It remains the deadliest aviation disaster involving a Bangladeshi airline, and the deadliest incident involving a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400.

A commission appointed by thegovernment of Nepal investigated the accident and concluded that the probable cause of the crash was pilot disorientation and a loss ofsituational awareness of the flight crew. The report was criticized by the airline and by the Bangladeshi representative on the commission, who felt that theair traffic controllers at Tribhuvan International Airport did not do their job properly and could have prevented the accident.

The Ganges inVaranasi

TheGanges (/ˈɡændʒiːz/GAN-jeez; in India:Ganga,/ˈɡʌŋɡɑː/GUNG-ah; in Bangladesh:Padma,/ˈpʌdmə/PUD-mə) is atrans-boundary river of Asia which flows throughIndia andBangladesh. The 2,525-kilometre-long (1,569 mi) river rises in the westernHimalayas in theIndian state ofUttarakhand. It flows south and east through theGangetic plain ofNorth India, receiving the right-bank tributary, theYamuna, which also rises in the western Indian Himalayas, and several left-bank tributaries fromNepal that account for the bulk of its flow. InWest Bengal, India, a feeder canal taking off from its right bank diverts 50% of its flow southwards, artificially connecting it to theHooghly River. The Ganges continues intoBangladesh, its name changing to thePadma. It is then joined by theJamuna, the lower stream of theBrahmaputra, and eventually theMeghna, forming the major estuary of theGanges Delta, and emptying into theBay of Bengal. The Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna system is thesecond-largest river on earth by discharge.

Themain stem of the Ganges begins at the town ofDevprayag, at the confluence of theAlaknanda, which is thesource stream inhydrology on account of its greater length, and theBhagirathi, which is considered the source stream inHindu mythology. (Full article...)

Islam is the largest and thestate religion of thePeople's Republic of Bangladesh. According to the 2022 census,Bangladesh had a population of about 150 millionMuslims, or 91.04% of its total population of 165 million. Muslims of Bangladesh are predominant nativeBengali Muslims. The majority ofBangladeshis areSunni, and follow theHanafi school of thought andfiqh. Bangladesh is ade facto secular country.

TheBengal region was a supreme power of the medieval Islamic East. In the late 7th century, Muslims from Arabia established commercial as well as religious connection within the Bengal region before the conquest, mainly through the coastal regions as traders and primarily via the ports ofChittagong. In the early 13th century,Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji conquered Western and part of Northern Bengal and established the first Muslim kingdom in Bengal. During the 13th century, Sufi missionaries, mystics and saints began to preach Islam in villages. The IslamicBengal Sultanate was founded byShamsuddin Ilyas Shah who united Bengal on an ethno-linguistic platform. Bengal reached in her golden age during Bengal Sultanate's prosperous ruling period. Subsequently, Bengal viceroyMuhammad Azam Shah assumed the imperial throne. Mughal Bengal became increasingly independent under theNawabs of Bengal in the 18th century. (Full article...)

Development of agricultural output of Bangladesh in 2019 US$ since 1961

Agriculture is the largestemployment sector inBangladesh, making up 14.2 percent of Bangladesh's GDP in 2017 and employing about 42.7 percent of the workforce. As of the financial year 2022 to 2023, the agricultural sector contributed to more than 12% of GDP. The performance of this sector has an overwhelming impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation,human resources development,food security, and other economic and social forces. A plurality of Bangladeshis earn their living from agriculture. Due to a number of factors, Bangladesh's labour-intensive agriculture has achieved steady increases in food grain production despite the often unfavorable weather conditions. These include better flood control and irrigation, a generally more efficient use of fertilisers, as well as the establishment of better distribution and rural credit networks.

Althoughrice andjute are the primary crops, maize and vegetables are assuming greater importance. Due to the expansion of irrigation networks, some wheat producers have switched to cultivation ofmaize which is used mostly as poultry feed. Tea is grown in the northeast. There are 166 tea estates in Bangladesh, covering almost 280,000 acres of land. Bangladesh is the 9th largest Tea producer, producing around 2% of the world’s Tea production. Because of Bangladesh's fertile soil and normally ample water supply, rice can be grown and harvested three times a year in many areas. The country is among the top producers ofrice (third),potatoes (seventh),tropical fruits (sixth), jute (second), and farmed fish (fifth). With 35.8 million metric tons produced in 2000, rice is Bangladesh's principal crop. As of 2024, it is expected that rice production in Bangladesh will exceed 37.7 million metric tons, an increase of nearly 700000 tons from last year. Bangladesh produces almost 5 metric tons of rice per hectare, making the country self sufficient in rice production. In comparison to rice, wheat output in 1999 was 1.9 million tonnes (1,900,000 long tons; 2,100,000 short tons). (Full article...)

Democracy in Bangladesh is historically connected to theWestminster style of democracy ofUnited Kingdom while Bangladesh was part ofBritish Colonial Empire from 1700 to 1947. Since Bangladesh achievedits independence on 26 March 1971 fromPakistan, Bangladesh introducedparliamentary democracy into its political system; however,a military coup in 1975 halted the process. It was restored in 1991 through a constitutional amendment. (Full article...)

Bangladesh is an important tea-producing country. It is the 9th largest tea producer in the world, producing a total of 97.08 million kgs in 2019. Its tea industry dates back toBritish rule, when theEast India Company initiated the tea trade in the hills of theSylhet region.

TheFederal Reserve Bank of New York Building

TheBangladesh Bank robbery, also known colloquially as theBangladesh Bank cyber heist, was a theft that took place in February 2016. Thirty-five fraudulent instructions were issued bysecurity hackers via theSWIFT network to illegally transfer close to US$1 billion from theFederal Reserve Bank of New York account belonging toBangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh. Five of the thirty-five fraudulent instructions were successful in transferring US$101 million, with US$81 million traced to thePhilippines and US$20 million toSri Lanka. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York blocked the remaining thirty transactions, amounting to US$850 million, due to suspicions raised by a misspelled instruction. As of 2025, all of the US$81 million transferred to the Philippines has been recovered, and all the money transferred to Sri Lanka has since been recovered. Most of the money transferred to the Philippines went to four personal accounts, held by single individuals, and not to companies or corporations. (Full article...)

TheBangladesh Liberation War (Bengali:মুক্তিযুদ্ধ,pronounced[mukt̪iɟud̪d̪ʱo]), also known as theBangladesh War of Independence, was anarmed conflict sparked by the rise of theBengali nationalist andself-determination movement inEast Pakistan, which resulted in the independence ofBangladesh with the help ofIndia. The war began when the Pakistanimilitary junta based inWest Pakistan—under the orders ofYahya Khan—launchedOperation Searchlight against East Pakistanis on the night of 25 March 1971, initiating theBangladesh genocide.

In response to the violence, members of theMukti Bahini—aguerrilla resistance movement formed by Bengali military, paramilitary and civilians—launched a mass guerrilla war against thePakistani military, liberating numerous towns and cities in the war's initial months. At first, the Pakistan Army regained momentum during themonsoon, but Bengaliguerrillas counterattacked by carrying out widespread sabotage, including throughOperation Jackpot against thePakistan Navy, while the nascentBangladesh Air Force flewsorties against Pakistani military bases.
India joined the war on 3 December 1971 in support of the Mukti Bahini, after Pakistan launchedpreemptive air strikes on northern India and massive flight of some 10 million East Pakistani Bengals to the Indian state of West Bengal, following waves of emigration since Partition in 1947. The subsequentIndo-Pakistani War involved fighting on two fronts; withair supremacy achieved in the eastern theater and the rapid advance of theAllied Forces of Mukti Bahini and the Indian military, Pakistansurrendered in Dhaka on 16 December 1971, in what remains to date the largest surrender of armed personnel since theSecond World War..

Percentage of the population vaccinated with at least one dose as of 17 January 2022

Bangladesh began the administration ofCOVID-19 vaccines on 27 January 2021 while mass vaccination started on 7 February 2021.

TheOxford–AstraZeneca vaccine was the onlyCOVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use from January to April 2021. Bangladesh ordered vaccines produced bySerum Institute of India; however, it delivered to Bangladesh less than half of the doses that had been agreed. After the consequent vaccine shortage, Bangladesh approved the RussianSputnik V and ChineseSinopharm BIBP vaccines for emergency use in late April 2021. Bangladesh also authorized the emergency use ofPfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to be distributed as part ofCOVAX. It was reported that the Bangladesh government planned to give permission to Bangladeshi-madeBangavax developed by Globe Biotech Ltd. to conduct the firstclinical trial that got listed in the 'Draft landscape and tracker of Covid-19 candidate vaccines' by theWorld Health Organization (WHO). However, the fate of Bangavax is still uncertain due to an unknown reason. Less than 4% of Bangladesh's population had gotten two doses as of the beginning of June 2021. Bangladesh has already fully immunized more than 70% of its population and received funding from a program called Friendship. (Full article...)

Selected biography

Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, also known asAkbarthe Great (November 23, 1542 – October 17 or October 27, 1605) was the son ofNasiruddin Humayun whom he succeeded as ruler of theMughal Empire from 1556 to 1605. He was the grandson ofBabur who founded the Mughal dynasty. On the eve of his death in 1605, theMughal Empire spanned almost 500 million acres (doubling during Akbar's reign).

Akbar, widely considered the greatest of the Mughal emperors, was only 13 when he ascended throne ofDelhi, due to the death of his fatherHumayun. It took him better part of two decades to consolidate and bring parts of northern and central india in his realm. During his reign, he reduced external military threats from the Afghan descendants ofSher Shah by waging wars against Afghan tribes, and at theSecond Battle of Panipat he defeated theHindu kingSamrat Hemu Chandra Vikramaditya, also calledHemu. Emperor solidified his rule by pursuing diplomacy with the powerfulRajput caste, and by admitting Rajput princesses in hisharem.

Akbar was anartisan,artist,armorer,blacksmith,carpenter,emperor,general,inventor,animal trainer (reputedly keeping thousands of hunting cheetahs during his reign and training many himself),lacemaker,technologist andtheologian. His most lasting contributions were to the arts. He initiated a large collection of literature, including theAkbar-nama and theAin-i-Akbari, and incorporated art from around the world into the Mughal collections. He also commissioned the building of widely admired buildings, and invented the firstprefabricated homes and movable structures. Akbar began a series of religious debates whereMuslim scholars would debate religious matters withSikhs,Hindus,Cārvāka atheists and evenJesuits from Portugal. He founded his own religious cult, theDin-i-Ilahi or the "Divine Faith"; however, it amounted only to a form ofpersonality cult for Akbar, and quickly dissolved after his death leaving his wife behind.
