BC, coinciding with the emergence of 16 great states or mahajana
padas in Northern India, and the subsequent rise of the Mauryan
EmpireThe eastern part of ancient India, covering much of current
days Bangladesh was part of one of such mahajana padas the ancient
kingdom of Anga which flourished in the 6th century BCE. MODERN
Islam is the largest religion of Bangladesh, the Muslim population
is approximately 148.6 million, which is the fourth largest Muslim
population in the world (after Indonesia Pakistan and India),
constituting 90.4% of the total population as of 2010.[ Religion
has always been a strong part of identity, but this has varied at
different times. A survey in late 2003 confirmed that religion is
the first choice by a citizen for self-identification atheism is
extremely rare.[4]Bangladesh is a secular state, however the United
Nations has recognised the country as mainly moderate Muslim
democratic country.

independence in 1971 brought about the establishment of Peoples
Republic of Bangladesh with the help of India. Problems after

and military coups. Restoration of democracy in 1991. Constitution

relations of People's Republic of Bangladesh share the Bangladeshi
government's policies in its external relations with the
international community. The country pursues a moderate foreign
policy that places heavy reliance on multinational diplomacy

(WTO). Since independence in 1971, the country has stressed its
principle of friendship towards all, malice towards none in
dictating its diplomacy. As a member of the Non-Aligned Movement

the end of the Cold War, the country has pursued better relations
with regional neighbors.
