Tell us about your home (country), a brief history, an added benefit

I was born in Bangladesh and my country Bangladesh is a developing country in Asia. At present, Bangladesh has advanced a lot as a developing country. With the brief history of Bangladesh, I will say that through various struggles, this country has been able to stand tall in front of the world. And this struggle is only from the year 1947 that Bangladesh gained independence with the 1971 Independence Movement. Bangladesh became independent on December 16, 1971 under the leadership of the then father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Bengali is the mother tongue of Bangladesh and a long 9 month long bloody war was fought for this language. About Three lakh people lost their lives in this war. After winning the war and regaining independence Sheikh Mujib the father of the nation of Bangladesh was given the responsibility of introducing the first parliamentary democracy system in Bangladesh and later he served as the prime minister of Bangladesh. I think many distinguished intellectuals have contributed to the goal of establishing Bangladesh In return for their sacrifice, today Bangladesh has been established as an independent state in the world court.

Why do you think your country is unique? Share at least 3 points.

There are several reasons why I consider Bangladesh unique. I present before you 3 points as per demand of the question.

• The Worlds Largest Mangrove Forest : Yes you read that right. Bangladesh has the largest mangrove forest in the world called Sundarban. It is the only mangrove forestland in the world. This is the home of bangladeshs national animal, the Royal Bengal Tiger. I think this Sundarban is a blessing for Bangladesh. Because this unique mangrove Sundarbans has faced many natural calamities.

• The world's largest beach : The world's largest beach Cox's Bazar is located in Bangladesh. This natural beach known as Cox's Bazar is 120 km or 75 miles which makes Bangladesh unique in terms of natural beauty and thousands of tourists come here Cox's Bazar every year to enjoy the beauty of this beach.

• Bangladesh ranks 2nd in Garments Industry : Bangladesh has gained a lot of reputation in the worldwide for its Garments industry. The reason for this is that the labor cost in the garment industry in Bangladesh is low. Then there is the right of duty free entry which has made the world's fashion bands to recognize Bangladesh as a good hub for low-cost clothing production. Therefore Bangladesh is ranked second in garment industry according to WTO 2023.

Would you leave your country to settle in another if an opportunity presented itself? Back up your answer with reasons.

Never. I am a government employee in revenue sector of Bangladesh and an established woman. The government of Bangladesh has given me a government house to live in this country.

I am living there with my family. And along with him my father is also a government employee. Apart from my job, I also do various online jobs which provide me an additional part of my income. So I think the Creator has kept me well.

---

I am satisfied that I have a house in my country. I have a job & eat good food and above all I can be with my family. So I have no desire to settle down in another country in the hope of better opportunities.

What area of your home (country) would you like to see improved?

In my country the problem I face everyday is traffic. I want the government of our country to take some better steps to resolve this traffic jam. Improve the roads. Create alternative roads in areas where traffic jams occur continuously for hours. Let us build subways or underground trains to ease traffic in our country. Then the people of the city will get some relief.

Because I spend 4 to 5 hours commuting to office everyday due to traffic on the road. And during these times I miss a lot of my important work. So I think as a traffic sufferer in my country I will say that traffic system in Bangladesh should be improved.
