****History*****
~Although Bangladesh has existed as an independent country only since the late
20th century,

***Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim dynasties until c. 1700****

~From the 3rd century BCE Buddhism flourished as the Mauryan emperors
extended their influence in Bengal
~The two religions coexisted under the Pala (8th�12th century) dynasty, as
well as under the Chandra (10th�11th century) dynasty in the southeast.
~the 11th century Senas who were strongly Hindu, had gained control over a
large part of Bengal
~As early as the 9th century, Arab traders had taken Islam to Bengal. About
1200,
~ 16th�18th century in eastern Bengal, as in much of the northern part of the
Indian subcontinent, Islam became the religion of the majority.
~Muslim rule in Bengal concentrated on incorporating local communities into
the state system.
~In their administration, high office holders, influential traders, eminent
literati, and musicians came from diverse religious traditions.

****The British period, c. 1700�1947****

~During the rule of the emperor Aurangzeb (reigned 1658�1707), the English
East India Company was permitted to establish its base at Calcutta (Kolkata).
~the East India Company emerged as the dominant political power in Suba
Bangalah.
~This property policy indirectly stimulated the growth of a new landed
middle class�especially in Calcutta�called the bhandralok.
~The province of Bengal was almost impossible to administer, even after
Assam was made a separate province in 1874.
~Western Bengal had a Hindu majority, while the province of Eastern Bengal
and Assam, with its capital at Dhaka, was predominantly Muslim.
 *****The Pakistani period, 1947�71*****
After the demise of British Empire in 1947, Bengal was partitioned as a
province of West Pakistan with being renamed as East Pakistan. Dhaka was declared
as its capital. Despite of adequate resources and demographic weight of East
Pakistan, the entire Pakistan�s government and military was largely dominated by
the upper classes from the west

parliamentary government of Bangladesh, and Abu Sayeef Choudhury became president.

parliamentary form of government, a bill of rights, and a strong commitment to
local government
~ Elections held in 1973 gave Mujib a landslide majority, but the euphoria
soon evaporated.
~The opposition parties began a campaign of strikes and demonstrations to
force Ershad�s resignation. In the late 1980s the poor state of the country�s
economy brought greater pressure on Ershad, and in December 1990
