The airline was initially called &lt;i&gt;Air Bangladesh International&lt;/i&gt; but was soon renamed Biman Bangladesh Airlines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In modern &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language" title="Bengali language"&gt;Bengali&lt;/a&gt;, the word বিমান &lt;i&gt;biman&lt;/i&gt; refers to "aeroplane", originating from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit" title="Sanskrit"&gt;Sanskrit&lt;/a&gt; word &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vimana" title="Vimana"&gt;vimāna&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, a name given to a flying machine mentioned in ancient &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas" title="Vedas"&gt;Vedic&lt;/a&gt; literature. The logo, painted on the tail, is a stylized white stork inside a red circle. The initial livery was a dark blue line extending across the aircraft along the windows and covering the tail section. This was replaced in the 1980s by dark green and red lines, matching the colours of the Bangladesh flag, and has remained in place for over two decades. The &lt;i&gt;bôlaka&lt;/i&gt; has also given its name to the Biman headquarters, the বলাকা ভবন &lt;i&gt;bôlaka bhôban&lt;/i&gt; (Stork Building),&lt;sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biman_Bangladesh_Airlines#cite_note-10" title=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;

The exact origin of the word "Bangla" or "Bengal" is unknown, though it is believed to be derived from &lt;i&gt;Bang&lt;/i&gt;, the Dravidian-speaking tribe that settled in the area around the year 1000 BC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After the arrival of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryans" title="Indo-Aryans" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Indo-Aryans&lt;/a&gt;, the kingdom of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangaridai" title="Gangaridai"&gt;Gangaridai&lt;/a&gt; was formed from at least the seventh century BC, which later united with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihar" title="Bihar"&gt;Bihar&lt;/a&gt; under the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magadha" title="Magadha"&gt;Magadha&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Empire" title="Maurya Empire"&gt;Maurya Empires&lt;/a&gt;. Bengal was later part of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gupta_Empire" title="Gupta Empire"&gt;Gupta Empire&lt;/a&gt; from the third to the sixth centuries &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era" title="Common Era"&gt;CE&lt;/a&gt;. Following its collapse, a dynamic Bengali named &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shashanka" title="Shashanka"&gt;Shashanka&lt;/a&gt; founded an impressive yet short-lived kingdom. Shashanka is considered the first independent king in the history of Bangladesh. After a period of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy" title="Anarchy"&gt;anarchy&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism" title="Buddhism"&gt;Buddhist&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pala_Empire" title="Pala Empire"&gt;Pala dynasty&lt;/a&gt; ruled the region for four hundred years, followed by a shorter reign of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu" title="Hindu" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Hindu&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sena_dynasty" title="Sena dynasty"&gt;Sena dynasty&lt;/a&gt;. Islam was introduced to Bengal in the twelfth century by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufism" title="Sufism"&gt;Sufi&lt;/a&gt; missionaries, and subsequent Muslim conquests helped spread &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam" title="Islam"&gt;Islam&lt;/a&gt; throughout the region.&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakhtiyar_Khalji" title="Bakhtiyar Khalji" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Bakhtiar Khilji&lt;/a&gt;, a Turkish general, defeated &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshman_Sen" title="Lakshman Sen"&gt;Lakshman Sen&lt;/a&gt; of the Sena dynasty and conquered large parts of Bengal. The region was ruled by dynasties of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan" title="Sultan"&gt;Sultans&lt;/a&gt; and feudal lords for the next few hundred years. By the 16th century, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire" title="Mughal Empire"&gt;Mughal Empire&lt;/a&gt; controlled Bengal, and Dhaka became an important provincial centre of Mughal administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;European traders arrived late in the 15th century, and their influence grew until the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company" title="British East India Company" class="mw-redirect"&gt;British East India Company&lt;/a&gt; gained control of Bengal following the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Plassey" title="Battle of Plassey"&gt;Battle of Plassey&lt;/a&gt; in 1757.The bloody rebellion of 1857, known as the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rebellion_of_1857" title="Indian rebellion of 1857" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Sepoy Mutiny&lt;/a&gt;, resulted in transfer of authority to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Monarchy of the United Kingdom"&gt;crown&lt;/a&gt;, with a British &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroy" title="Viceroy"&gt;viceroy&lt;/a&gt; running the administration. During colonial rule, famine racked the Indian subcontinent many times, including the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943" title="Bengal famine of 1943"&gt;Great Bengal famine&lt;/a&gt; of 1943 that claimed 3 million lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Between 1905 and 1911, an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_Bengal_%281905%29" title="Partition of Bengal (1905)"&gt;abortive attempt&lt;/a&gt; was made to divide the province of Bengal into two zones, with Dhaka being the capital of the eastern zone.When India was partitioned in 1947, Bengal was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_Bengal_%281947%29" title="Partition of Bengal (1947)"&gt;partitioned&lt;/a&gt; along religious lines, with the western part going to India and the eastern part joining &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan"&gt;Pakistan&lt;/a&gt; as a province called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Bengal" title="East Bengal"&gt;East Bengal&lt;/a&gt; (later renamed East Pakistan), with its capital at Dhaka.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1950, land reform was accomplished in East Bengal with the abolishment of the feudal &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamindar" title="Zamindar"&gt;zamindari&lt;/a&gt; system.&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;However, despite the economic and demographic weight of the east, Pakistan's government and military were largely dominated by the upper classes from the west. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_Language_Movement" title="Bengali Language Movement"&gt;Bengali Language Movement&lt;/a&gt; of 1952 was the first sign of friction between the two wings of Pakistan.Dissatisfaction with the central government over economic and cultural issues continued to rise through the next decade, during which the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Awami_League" title="Bangladesh Awami League"&gt;Awami League&lt;/a&gt; emerged as the political voice of the Bengali-speaking population. It agitated for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_point_movement" title="Six point movement"&gt;autonomy&lt;/a&gt; in the 1960s, and in 1966, its president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was jailed; he was released in 1969 after an unprecedented popular uprising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1970, a massive &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Bhola_cyclone" title="1970 Bhola cyclone"&gt;cyclone&lt;/a&gt; devastated the coast of East Pakistan, and the central government responded poorly. The Bengali population's anger was compounded when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, whose &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awami_League" title="Awami League" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Awami League&lt;/a&gt; won a majority in Parliament in the 1970 elections,was blocked from taking office. After staging compromise talks with Mujib, President &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Khan" title="Yahya Khan"&gt;Yahya Khan&lt;/a&gt; arrested him on the early hours of March 26, 1971, and launched &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Searchlight" title="Operation Searchlight"&gt;Operation Searchlight&lt;/a&gt;, a sustained military assault on East Pakistan. Yahya's methods were extremely bloody, and the violence of the war resulted in many civilian deaths .&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Chief targets included &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual" title="Intellectual"&gt;intellectuals&lt;/a&gt; and Hindus, and about ten million &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee" title="Refugee"&gt;refugees&lt;/a&gt; fled to neighbouring India (LaPorte,p. 103). Estimates of those massacred throughout the war range from three hundred thousand to 3 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Most of the Awami League leaders fled and set up a government-in-exile in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata" title="Kolkata"&gt;Calcutta&lt;/a&gt;, India. The Bangladesh Liberation War lasted for nine months. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare"&gt;guerrilla&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukti_Bahini" title="Mukti Bahini"&gt;Mukti Bahini&lt;/a&gt; and Bengali regulars eventually received support from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Armed_Forces" title="Indian Armed Forces"&gt;Indian Armed Forces&lt;/a&gt; in December 1971. The Indian army, under the command of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagjit_Singh_Aurora" title="Jagjit Singh Aurora"&gt;Lt. General J.S. Aurora&lt;/a&gt;, achieved a decisive victory over Pakistan on December 16, 1971, taking over 90,000 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_of_war" title="Prisoner of war"&gt;prisoners of war&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971" title="Indo-Pakistani War of 1971"&gt;Indo-Pakistani War of 1971&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After its independence, Bangladesh became a parliamentary democracy, with Mujib as the Prime Minister. In the 1973 parliamentary elections, the Awami League gained an absolute majority. A nationwide famine occurred during 1973 and 1974, and in early 1975, Mujib initiated a one-party socialist rule with his newly formed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAKSAL" title="BAKSAL"&gt;BAKSAL&lt;/a&gt;. On August 15, 1975, Mujib and his family were assassinated by mid-level military officers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A series of bloody coups and counter-coups in the following three months culminated in the ascent to power of General &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziaur_Rahman" title="Ziaur Rahman"&gt;Ziaur Rahman&lt;/a&gt;, who reinstated multi-party politics and founded the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Nationalist_Party" title="Bangladesh Nationalist Party"&gt;Bangladesh Nationalist Party&lt;/a&gt; (BNP). Zia's rule ended when he was assassinated in 1981 by elements of the military.Bangladesh's next major ruler was General &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hossain_Mohammad_Ershad" title="Hossain Mohammad Ershad"&gt;Hossain Mohammad Ershad&lt;/a&gt;, who gained power in a bloodless coup in 1982 and ruled until 1990, when he was forced to resign under western donor pressure in a major shift in international policy after the end of communism when anti-communist dictators were no longer felt necessary. Since then, Bangladesh has reverted to a parliamentary democracy. Zia's widow, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaleda_Zia" title="Khaleda Zia"&gt;Khaleda Zia&lt;/a&gt;, led the Bangladesh Nationalist Party to parliamentary victory at the general election in 1991 and became the first female Prime Minister in Bangladesh's history. However, the Awami League, headed by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Hasina" title="Sheikh Hasina"&gt;Sheikh Hasina&lt;/a&gt;, one of Mujib's surviving daughters, clinched power at the next election in 1996 but lost to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party again in 2001. These two female ex-prime ministers are now in imprisonment in a sub-jail due to their suspected attachment with corruption.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In January 11, 2007, following widespread violence, a caretaker government was appointed to administer the next general election. The country had suffered from extensive corruption, disorder and political violence. The new caretaker government has made it a priority to root out corruption from all levels of government. To this end, many notable politicians and officials, along with large numbers of lesser officials and party members, have been arrested on corruption charges. The caretaker government claims to be paving the way for free and fair elections to be held before the end of 2008.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

It is bordered by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India" title="India"&gt;India&lt;/a&gt; on all sides except for a small border with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma" title="Burma"&gt;Burma&lt;/a&gt; to the far southeast and by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Bengal" title="Bay of Bengal"&gt;Bay of Bengal&lt;/a&gt; to the south. Together with the Indian state of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal" title="West Bengal"&gt;West Bengal&lt;/a&gt;, it makes up the ethno-linguistic region of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal" title="Bengal"&gt;Bengal&lt;/a&gt;. The name &lt;i&gt;Bangladesh&lt;/i&gt; means "Country of Bengal" in the official &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language" title="Bengali language"&gt;Bengali language&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: times new roman;"&gt;The borders of present-day Bangladesh were established with the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Partition_of_Bengal" title="1947 Partition of Bengal" class="mw-redirect"&gt;partition of Bengal&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India" title="Partition of India"&gt;India&lt;/a&gt; in 1947, when the region became the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Pakistan" title="East Pakistan"&gt;eastern wing&lt;/a&gt; of the newly-formed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan"&gt;Pakistan&lt;/a&gt;. However, it was separated from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Pakistan" title="West Pakistan"&gt;western wing&lt;/a&gt; by 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) across India. Political and linguistic discrimination as well as economic neglect led to popular agitations against &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Pakistan" title="West Pakistan"&gt;West Pakistan&lt;/a&gt;, which led to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Liberation_War" title="Bangladesh Liberation War"&gt;war for independence&lt;/a&gt; in 1971 and the establishment of Bangladesh. However, the new state had to endure famines, natural disasters and widespread poverty, as well as political turmoil and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_coups_in_Bangladesh" title="Military coups in Bangladesh"&gt;military coups&lt;/a&gt;. The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative stability and economic progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Bangladesh is among the most densely populated countries in the world and has a high poverty rate. Geographically the country straddles the fertile &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganges_Delta" title="Ganges Delta"&gt;Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta&lt;/a&gt; and is subject to annual &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsoon" title="Monsoon"&gt;monsoon&lt;/a&gt; floods and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone" title="Cyclone"&gt;cyclones&lt;/a&gt;. The government is a parliamentary democracy; however, political rule has been suspended under emergency law since January 11, 2007. Bangladesh is a member of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations"&gt;Commonwealth of Nations&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_Association_for_Regional_Cooperation" title="South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation"&gt;SAARC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIMSTEC" title="BIMSTEC"&gt;BIMSTEC&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_of_the_Islamic_Conference" title="Organisation of the Islamic Conference"&gt;OIC&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_8_Countries" title="Developing 8 Countries"&gt;D-8&lt;/a&gt;. As the World Bank notes in its July 2005 Country Brief, the country has made significant progress in human development in the areas of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy" title="Literacy"&gt;literacy&lt;/a&gt;, gender parity in schooling and reduction of population growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
