Bangladesh is so culturally vast, that it is easy to lose sight of how many indigenous peoples inhabit the region.

Bangladesh - Land of the Tiger

Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest, most populous and most densely populated countries. This is due in part to the great fertility of the land, well-watered as it is by three great rivers: the Brahmaputra, the Meghna and the Ganges. Most of the area of Bangladesh consists of a wide, flat flood plain and river delta where the three rivers combine and drain into the Bay of Bengal. The climate is hot, humid and extremely rainy in the summer Monsoon season. Bangladesh is located in the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent and it is almost completely surrounded by India itself. The capital city of Bangladesh is Dhaka, a metropolis of 12.5 million that has become a global high tech dynamo.
