যদি ঘুম থেকে উটে শুনতাম , মরেনি মুজিব -বেচে আছে । তাহলে বিশ্ব পেত এক মহান নেতা , আমরা পেতাম ফিরে জাতির পিতা। আমরা তুমাকে ভুলিনি, ভুলবনা , সোনার পাতা থেকে ফেলবনা। The national flag of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় পতাকা — Bānglādēśēr Jātīẏa Patākā) was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It consists of a red disc on top of a green field, offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal , and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. The flag is based on a similar flag used during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, which had a yellow map of the country inside the red disc. In 1972 this map was deleted from the flag. One reason given was the difficulty for rendering the map correctly on both sides of the flag.[1] The civil ensign and naval ensign place the national flag in the canton of a red or white field, respectively. Origin The first flag was designed by Student Leaders of Shawdhin Bangla Nucleus painter was Shib Narayan Das and was made from clothes donated by the owner of Apollo Tailors, Bazlur Rahman Lasker, of Dhakas New Market.[2] On 2 March 1971, the initial version of the flag was hoisted in Bangladesh for the first time at Dhaka University , as the Vice President of Dhaka University Students Union (DUCSU), student leader A. S. M. Abdur Rab, raised the flag. [3] The flag was conceived so as to exclude the crescent and the star considered as symbols of West Pakistan . According to CIA World Fact Book ,[1][4] the green used in the flag represent the lushness of the green landscape of the country. [5]
