Bangladesh is a new state in an ancient land. It has been described by an American political scientist as "a country challenged by contradictions". On the face of it, the recent twists and turns of her history are often inconsistent. It is neither a distinct geographical entity, nor a well-defined historical unit. Nevertheless, it is the homeland of the ninth largest nation in the world whose gropings for a political identity were protracted, intense and agonizing. The key to these apparent contradictions lies in her history.
Etymologically, the word Bangladesh is derived from the cognate "Vanga" which was first mentioned in the Hindu scripture Aitareya Aranyaka (composed between 500 B C and 500 A D). Legend has it that Bengal was first colonized by Prince Vanga, the son of King Bali and Queen Sudeshna of the Lunar dynasty. According to linguists, the roots of the term Vanga may be traced to languages in the adjoining areas. One school of linguists maintain that the word "Vanga" is derived from the Tibetan word "Bans" which implies "wet and moist". According to this interpretation, Bangladesh literally refers to a wetland. Another school is of the opinion that the term "Vangla" is derived from Bodo (aborigines of Assam) words "Bang" and "la" which connote "wide plains."

Bangladesh has a very long and intense history, who were know for their richis and prosperous land, they were part of a large empire and were one of the greatest civilisations. However the history of bangladesh has long been forgotten and untold, the country has been unrecognised, i mean bangladesh was one on the richest places in bharat, until the british and bangalis did invent yoga and nail vanish. Some history of bangladesh is of bhuddist and hindu culture, there empire and stories shouldn't be forgotten,they were also strongly part of the mongol empire, many other countries are still remembered and are associated with somethings. But now that bangladesh is, it is some how unrecognised.
Even Bangladeshi resturats are associsted with being, if they weren't bangladesh would be more recognised.
