Cool Planet - Bangladesh - History

Extractions: Photo: Shafiqul Alam/Oxfam Bangladesh has been independent since 16 December 1971. The current Prime Minister is Khaleda Zia, whose Bangladesh Nationalist Party leads a four-party alliance. In the nineteenth century India was ruled by the British. Their policies meant that most land in what is now Bangladesh came to be owned by wealthy Hindus. The rents were set so high that poor farmers were forced off the land. Those who remained were ordered to grow crops to sell overseas, rather than food to eat. This led to terrible food shortages and riots. The British left India in 1947. In August 1947 parts of India were divided off, creating Pakistan.

http://www.asianphilanthropy.org/countries/bangladesh/history.html

Extractions: Bangladesh Giving and Volunteering People in Bangladesh, especially in rural areas, for hundreds of years have been living in closed knit communities with harmony and mutual support. As natural calamity has been a common occurrence in the region, voluntary service for relief during disaster, epidemic, river erosion etc has been common. This tradition continued during various regal and colonial regimes, often receiving recognition. Since the early 13th century Islamic religious dicta has been important in influencing giving. Almost 85% of the people in Bangladesh are Muslim, and are involved in giving in the form zakat ul mal, zakat ul fitr, 1/3rd meat of the sacrificial animal (annual sacrifice by people who can afford it), sadaqua and (value of) hides and skins of sacrificial animals in charity is a religious requirement. Not only the Muslims, followers of all other religions, Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism, have been involved in giving in different forms. Sharing fruits, vegetables, poultry or cattle products from non-commercial farming is a very common practice in rural Bangladesh. There are some people who, despite their financial hardships, share these produce with their neighbours and relatives. Giving to the beggars is also influenced by religious dictum of helping the poor and destitute. Also in recent times, it is observed that people of all economic backgrounds respond enthusiastically during crises to help victims, eg. acid victims, diseases, etc. Besides religious reasons, desire for political gains and maintaining status quo lead some people to give in charity, as well.

Extractions: Around 1985, our main Buyer at the time (Sir John Ltd.) suggested that we organise in a proper way and he offered to bear the expenses for a printed Catalogue which would include the material of all the producer groups involved. To collect all the photos and prepare a detailed price list took us more time than expected, also because of the constant increase of the number of producers' groups to whom the cooperation was extended. But this was the step that brought us to become BaSE. Joint orders of handicrafts were coming from the buyers, compelling us to organise ourselves in a stable way.

http://www.mongabay.com/reference/country_studies/bangladesh/HISTORY.html

Extractions: COUNTRY STUDIES When Bangladesh joined the community of nations, it was at first recognized by only India and Bhutan. With its fragile and underdeveloped economic infrastructure under extreme duress, its law and order situation challenged by numerous well-armed contingents of unemployed former freedom fighters, its impoverished population agitated by the unfulfilled promise of rising expectations, Bangladesh was, in international circles, given the unfortunate label of "international basket case." For most of its history, the area known as Bangladesh was a political backwateran observer rather than a participant in the great political and military events of the Indian subcontinent. Historians believe that Bengal, the area comprising present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, was settled in about 1000 B.C. by Dravidian-speaking peoples who were later known as the Bang. Their homeland bore various titles that reflected earlier tribal names, such as Vanga, Banga, Bangala, Bangal, and Bengal. The first great indigenous empire to spread over most of present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh was the Mauryan Empire (ca. 320-180 B.C.), whose most famous ruler was Asoka (ca. 273-232 B.C.). Although the empire was well administered and politically integrated, little is known of any reciprocal benefits between it and eastern Bengal. The western part of Bengal, however, achieved some importance during the Mauryan period because vessels sailed from its ports to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. During the time of the Mauryan Empire, Buddhism came to Bengal, and it was from there that Asoka's son, Mahinda, carried the message of the Enlightened One to Sri Lanka. After the decline of the Mauryan Empire the eastern portion of Bengal became the kingdom of Samatata; although politically independent, it was a tributary state of the Indian Gupta Empire (A.D. ca. 319-ca. 540).

Bengal was probably the wealthiest part of the subcontinent up till the 16th century. The area's early history featured a succession of Indian empires, internal squabbling, and a tussle between Hinduism and Buddhism for dominance. All of this was just a prelude to the unstoppable tide of Islam which washed over northern India at the end of the 12th century. Mohammed Bakhtiar Khalzhi from Turkistan captured Bengal in 1199 with only 20 men. Under the Mughal viceroys, art and literature flourished, overland trade expanded and Bengal was opened to world maritime trade - the latter marking the death knell of Mughal power as Europeans began to establish themselves in the region. The Portuguese arrived as early as the 15th century but were ousted in 1633 by local opposition. The East India Company negotiated terms to establish a fortified trading post in Calcutta in 1690. The decline of Mughal power led to greater provincial autonomy, heralding the rise of the independent dynasty of the
