.org.bd General FAQ
Bangladesh is a sovereign state located in South Asia. It is bordered almost entirely by India, though it shares a small border with Burma in the Southeast. From the late 1940s through the 1980s, Bangladesh had undergone tumultuous political change, finally achieving independence from Pakistan in 1971 and restoring democracy in 1991. Since that time, there has been relative calm and economic progress.
Bangladesh's economy is ranked 44th largest in the world. Two thirds of Bangladeshis are farmers, and the country is one of the largest producers of several notable crops. In spite of the large number of farmers in the country, more than three quarters of the cpr144449003101 country's export earnings come from the garment industry. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in foreign direct investment, and there are plans to construct both the largest international airport and the largest deep sea port in South Asia in the immediate future.
