Bangladesh Basic Facts
Remnants of civilization in the greater Bengal region date back four thousand years, when the region was settled by Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austro-Asiatic peoples. It was only in 1971 when the Bengalees, the majority people of the land, won their freedom. The country is now a peaceful abode to various ethnic and religious denominations. A small country with more than 160 million population, Bangladesh, is poised to graduate to a middle income country.
