National Flag

Our national flag is like a special symbol that shows who we are as a country. It flies high in the sky, representing our nation's pride. But getting our flag wasn't easy. Before March 26, 1971, Bangladesh wasn't its own country. It was part of Pakistan, called East Pakistan. People there didn't have the freedom they wanted. They were treated unfairly. So, they decided to fight for their rights. Our brave heroes fought under our flag to win freedom. It took nine months of hard work and sacrifice, but finally, Bangladesh became independent. Our flag was raised proudly in the sky. Our flag is special. It's longer than it is wide, with a ratio of 10 to 6. It's mostly green with a stripe of red. The green stands for the beauty of our land, and the red shows the bravery of our fighters who gave their lives for our freedom. Every day, schools start with raising our flag. Offices, both government and private, show our flag too. On important days for our country, our flag decorates our surroundings, reminding us of our unity and pride. But on sad days, it's lowered halfway to show respect. Our flag means a lot to us. It's more than just fabric with colors; it represents our identity, inspiring us with hope and bravery. It's our job to always respect and honor our flag, keeping it flying high for everyone to see.
