History
The flag of Bangladesh was officially adopted on 17 January 1972. Its design is credited to artist Quamrul Hassan and derives from the provisional flag used during the 1971 Liberation War. In the current version, the green field symbolizes the country’s lush vegetation and fertile land, while the red disc represents the rising sun over Bengal and the blood of those who sacrificed their lives for independence. The earlier wartime version included a golden map of Bangladesh inside the red disc, but the map was removed in 1972 to simplify production and ensure accurate rendering on both sides.
