    The national flag of Bangladesh was adopted on January 17, 1972. It consists of a red disc on top of a green field, with the red disc offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centered when flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal and the blood shed for Bangladesh's independence, while the green field represents the country's lush landscape. The first version of the flag, used during Bangladesh's 1971 liberation war, contained a map of the country inside the red disc, which was later removed for reasons of correct rendering on both sides of the flag.

    The national flag of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাাংলাদেদের জাতীয় পতাকা pronounced [baŋladeʃer dʒatie̯o

    pɔtaka]) was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It consists of a red disc on top of a green field. The
    red disc is offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The red disc
    represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of
    Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. The flag is similar to the
    Japanese flag, with the difference being the Japanese flag depicting the red disc centered on a white
    field.

    The flag is based on a similar flag used during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, which had a
    yellow map of the country inside the red disc. In 1972 this map was removed from the flag. One reason
    given was the difficulty for rendering the map correctly on both sides of the flag.[1] The civil ensign and
    naval ensign place it in the canton of a red or white field, respectively. The Green part of the flag is
    irrelevant to Islam.

    Origin

    The first version of the flag was designed and made by a section of student leaders and activists
    of Swadheen Bangla Nucleus on 6 June 1970, at room 108 of Iqbal Hall (now Sergeant Zahurul Haq
    hall), Dhaka University; students involved with the design were namely Kazi Aref Ahmed, ASM Abdur
    Rab, Shahjahan Siraj, Manirul Islam (Marshal Moni), Swapan Kumar Choudhury, Quamrul Alam Khan
    (Khasru), Hasanul Haq Inu, Yousuf Salahuddin Ahmed and few others.[citation needed] The flag was made
    from clothes donated by Bazlur Rahman Lasker, the owner of Apollo Tailors, Dhaka New Market.[2]

    A map of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was first traced on a tracing paper from an atlas by Hasanul
    Haq Inu, Yousuf Salahuddin Ahmed and Enamul Haq, at Enamul's room (312) in Quaid-I Azam Hall (now
    Sher-E-Bangla Hall), EPUET (now BUET).[3][4] Later the map was painted in the red circle by Shib Narayan
    Das.[5] On 2 March 1971, this initial version of the flag was hoisted in Bangladesh for the first time at
    Dhaka University, by student leader A. S. M. Abdur Rab, the then Vice President of Dhaka University
    Students' Union (DUCSU)[6] The flag was conceived so as to exclude the star and crescent considered as
    symbols of West Pakistan (now Pakistan).

    The red disc on the flag may perhaps also represent the fateful sunset that had taken place according to
    legend at the Battle of Karbala.

    First flag of Bangladesh, officially used from 1971-72.


    According to CIA World Fact Book,[1][7] the green used in the flag represent the lushness of the green
    landscape of the country.[8][9] On 13 January 1972 the flag was modified. The map from the center was
    removed and the red disk moved towards the hoist. The red in the center is a symbolic representation of
    the blood Bengalis shed in the Bangladesh Liberation War.[9]
