Our National Flag
A national flag is the symbol of independence and sovereignty of a free country. Every free nation of the world has its own national flag. Bangladesh has also a national flag as she is an independent and sovereign country. Bangladesh got this nation flag on December 16, 1971 after a nine-month long valiant struggle of our heroic freedom fighters with the occupied Pakistan army. The flag is rectangular in size having a proportion of 10 : 6. There are two colors in our national flag – bottle green and red. The green color of our national flag stands for everlasting youth, freshness and vigour of the nation .It also symbolizes the greenery of Bangladesh. The deep red round color part symbolizes the rising sun of independence. It also stands for the supreme sacrifices of our heroic freedom fighters who laid down their lives for the cause of our motherland. The flag is hoisted everyday on the top of government building, educational institutions and offices. It is hoisted everywhere on independent day and the Victory Day. Besides, it is hoisted half mast on national and international mourning day. 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.
