The Flag Company Inc And Bangladesh Flag History

By Barbara White


For much of history, the state that we today call Bangladesh has been a part of a greater India and was known only as Bengal; what happened elsewhere on the subcontinent affected Bengal. The history of the modern state of Bangladesh has been short and, rarely, sweet. Born in a war that some call genocide, the nation’s history has been filled with an almost unnaturally large guest list of villains, tyrants, soldiers and politicians, as well as one or two ever so rare heroes.

The national banner of Bangladesh was received on 17 January 1972. It looks like the banner used amid the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. The map was later erased from the banner by the request of General Abul Manzur, destined to rearrange the design citation required.

A red circle is on top of the green field, balanced toward the lift with the goal that it seems focused when the banner is flying. The red disc reflects the sun ascending over Bengal, furthermore the blood of the individuals who died for the freedom of Bangladesh. The green field remains for the lavishness of the place where there is Bangladesh. The red plate is a communist image of the rising Sun of autonomy after the dull night of a blood-splashed battle against Pakistan.

The first banner was composed by painter Quamrul Hassan. On 2 March 1971, the starting adaptation of the banner was lifted in Bangladesh surprisingly at the Dhaka University. On the revelation of Independence on 26 March 1971, Sheik Mujibur Rahman flew the banner in his residence.

The banner was imagined to prohibit the crescent and the star considered as images of West Pakistan. It was thought that the green used as a part of the banner does not reflect the customary colours of Islam, as opposed to some western sources.

Rather, the green colour was chosen to represent the lushness of the natural landscape of Bangladesh. The current flag resembles the flag of Japan with the background a different colour. The map was removed from the flag in 1972. One reason given was the difficulty rendering the map correctly on both sides of the flag. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize for the future.
