Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a country located in South Asia which is entirely surrounded by India, sharing a small but reasonable border with Myanmar. The country is known for its beautiful lush green mangrove forests (home to the largest one in the world), fertile land which is great for making garments, Cox Bazar (one of the longest beaches in the world), delicious cuisine, being one of the largest/most densely populated countries (population: 166 million, ranks 8th place), and many more! The name Bangladesh means "Land of the Bengalis" which is why its official language is Bengali/Bangla and Bengalis make up 98% of the country. Other minority groups exist in Bangladesh (making up only 2%) like the Chakma which have their own language called Chakma. Bangladesh is a predominantly Muslim country (about 90% of the population) with Hinduism being the 2nd largest religion (about 14 million Hindus). Buddhists and Christians make up only 2% of the country. Though it is an Islamic country, there are still many Hindu and Buddhist influences that you will notice. Its capital and largest city is Dhaka which is called the "City of Mosques" and is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Bangladesh is a relatively new country founded in 1971 after declaring independence from Pakistan (Bangladesh used to be known as "East Pakistan") while being colonized by the British with India and Myanmar (All 4 of these countries were called the British Raj).
