Bangladesh Adopts National Flag
Historical Significance
On January 17, 1972, Bangladesh officially adopted its national flag, a symbol of its independence and sovereignty.
Description of the Flag
The flag consists of a dark green field with a large, off-center red circle. The ratio of the flag's width to length is 3:5. The green background represents the fertile countryside of Bangladesh, while the red circle represents the blood shed during the country's struggle for independence.
Similarities to Japanese Flag
While the Bangladeshi flag bears some resemblance to the Japanese flag, it is distinct in its use of green as the background color. This difference is significant, as green holds cultural and religious symbolism for Bangladesh.
