The primary language is Bangla, called Bengali by most nonnatives, an Indo-European language spoken not just by Bangladeshis, but also by people who are culturally Bengali. This includes about 300 million people from Bangladesh, West Bengal, and Bihar, as well as Bengali speakers in other Indian states. The language dates from well before the birth of Christ. Bangla varies by region, and people may not understand the language of a person from another district. However, differences in dialect consist primarily of slight differences in accent or pronunciation and minor grammatical usages.

Infant mortality is approximately seventy-five per one thousand live births. Life expectancy for both men and women is fifty-eight years, yet the sex ratios for cohorts above sixty years of age are skewed toward males. Girls between one and four years of age are almost twice as likely as boys to die.

In the early 1980s the annual rate of population increase was above 2.5 percent, but in the late 1990s it decreased to 1.9 percent. The success of population control may be due to the demographic transition (decreasing birth and death rates), decreasing farm sizes, increasing urbanization, and national campaigns to control fertility (funded largely by other nations).

In the north and the southeast the land is more hilly and dry, and tea is grown. The Chittagong Hill Tracts have extensive hardwood forests. The vast river delta area is home to the dominant plains culture. The hilly areas of the northeast and southeast are occupied by much smaller tribal groups, many of which have strongly resisted domination by the national government and the population pressure from Bangladeshis who move into and attempt to settle in their traditional areas. In 1998 an accord was reached between the armed tribal group Shanti Bahini and the government.

goods field of Bangladesh

Bangladesh straddles the Bay of Bengal in south Asia. To the west and north it is bounded by India; to the southeast, it borders Myanmar. The topography is predominantly a low-lying floodplain. About half the total area is actively deltaic and is prone to flooding in the monsoon season from May through September. The Ganges/Padma River flows into the country from the northwest, while the Brahmaputra/ Jamuna enters from the north. The capital city, Dhaka, is near the point where those river systems meet. The land is suitable for rice cultivation

Central Shahid Minar in Jahangir Nagar University

Inside a green picturesque surrounding of Jahangir Nagar University, the sprawling acres of land holds this beautiful monument dedicated to the language martyrs of 1952.The young men who died in 1952 were the earliest of Bengalis to shed blood for their land in a state that had turned its back on them with brazenness of the worst kind. In the years that followed, other Bengalis, by the scores, would die in the incessant battles against the dictatorship imposed by Pakistan between 1958 and 1969. Come 1971 and the figures of the dying made a quantum leap from the mere scores and hundreds to the mind-boggling millions. As freedom dawned on 16 December 1971, three million Bengalis lay dead, victims of an army that had dwindled into being a tribe of marauders come from the wild mountains of the west.

It is from such an understanding of our history that we have based our Ekushey supplement this year around a simple yet poignant theme. We call it From language to liberty. And we do so because it is our conviction, borne out by the ramifications of the struggle for Bangla to be recognised as the language of the state and also by subsequent events of seminal political significance in East Bengal/East Pakistan, that our eventual liberation as the nation of Bangladesh had its roots in our battle for Bangla. Rare has been the instance of a people willing to die in defence of its language and, dying, pave the road to the creation of a highway of all-encompassing freedom.

Once more it is time to remember the young who died in order for the Bangla language to live and thrive in its natural fashion. Once more, decades after the tragedy that took the lives of these brave Bengalis, it is for us to look back at the gains made since 1952, at the advantages that have been and at the same time the opportunities of renewal that may have been missed. In terms of the fragile nature of the momentary, the happenings of Ekushey February were but a rude demonstration of the increasing ferocity of a state all too ready to ignore the legitimate aspirations of a majority of its constituents. In the longer historical perspective, however, 21 February 1952 was but the beginning of our national journey to freedom as a nation.

A month of florists


Women line up with flowers in hand to pay respect to language martyrs at the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka yesterday. Florists counted brisk sales in February, a month that saw three occasions: Pahela Falgun, Valentine's Day and International Mother Language Day.

With more than 334 plant species observed when last recorded in 1904, the thick and muddy jungles are mostly left unexplored even till today. It is hard to imagine that in a region that is as densely populated as this, the enchanting magic of these forests still remains “so” untouched.

It is hard to describe Sundarbans’ aura and its magnitude in sheer words but a photo frame with the Royal Bengal Tiger leaping out of water to take down its prey, says it all.

Sundarban Tree

Declared as a reserved and protected forest under the colonial rule, the Sundarbans is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. One look at its impregnable forest, and it justifies that status.

The entire delta basically consists of the freshwater swamps forest region and the Mangrove region that extends further out to the sea. The one of a kind ecoregion is not just the largest of its kind in the world, but also the most exhilarating tourist spot with its deadly attractions.

Geographic image of Sundarbans


Originally measured about 200 years ago, the Sundarbans covered an area of about 16,700 km² but today it has shrunk significantly to only 4,143 km². Spanning across West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, the Mangrove forest is formed in the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta. The region is known to be highly fertile and is used extensively for cultivation, mainly because the interiors of the Delta are shielded away from the sea.

The modern Cox's Bazar

The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from Captain Cox , an officer serving in British India. In the 18th century, an officer of British East India Company, Captain Hiram Cox was appointed as the Superintendent of Palongkee outpost after Warren Hastings became the Governor of Bengal. Captain Cox was specially mobilized to deal with a century long conflict between Arakan refugees and local Rakhains. The Captain was a compassionate soul and the plight of the people touched his heart. He embarked upon the mammoth task of rehabilitating refugees in the area, and made significant progress.

Cox's Bazar Hotel


Hotel Kollol is almost on the Bay at Cox's Bazar. From the balcony of this hotel, both the view and roar of sea waves may be experienced. In Bangla the word ‘Kollol' means wave. That's why the property was named Hotel Kollol. Hotel Kollol began its journey in 2003.Not only was the site chosen but the building was also constructed considering adequate open air and sunlight. In other words this premises was constructed to give the feel of a home.Like a big family house everyone can see each other from its long corridors. This hotel maintains a balance between luxuriousness and affordability.

Alaskan Brown Bear Water Running Glacier Bay National

An Alaskan Brown Bear moseying about the river in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, USA can smell the presence of humans nearby and takes off running through the water. As this bear escapes, the large shoulder muscles show of its distinctive hump as its powerful legs give him the speed. The Alaskan Brown Bear has a good sense of smell and if climate conditions are ideal, the bear can detect odors more than a mile away.The Alaskan Brown Bear is one of the largest living carnivores, some which can weigh over 1600 pounds but it is not as ferocious as a Grizzly Bear. At full running speed, an Alaskan Brown Bear can reach a pace of 35 kilometers per hour, leaving their prey very little chance of escaping these massive animals.Alaskan Brown Bears are in the same species as the Grizzly Bear but they are larger as they have a food intake which consists of rich seafood. Seeing these incredible animals in the wild is an experience of a lifetime which one will never forget. Certain rules and viewing behavior should be read through before hiking or traveling through bear country to ensure the safety of yourself as well as the bears. Many of the waterways during the salmon's spawning will keep the bears entertained while feeding and the presence of humans has very little impact on them.
