Bangladesh got this flag on December six teen, 1971, after a nine-month-long valiant struggle of our heroic freedom fighters with the occupying Pakistani army. The national flag of Bangladesh is rectangular in shape having a proportion of 10:6 or 5:3. There are 2 colors in our flag – green and red. The green color of our flag stands for everlasting youth, vigour, and freshness of the nation. It also symbolizes the greenery of Bangladesh. The red color symbolizes the rising sun of independence. It stands for the supreme sacrifices of our heroic freedom fighters who set down their lives for the reason for their country of origin. The flag i s hoisted every day on top of government offices and educational institutions. Whenever we see our national flag flying, our mind is filled with joy and hearts swell in pride. We feel proud of our national flag.
