Bangladesh is a country in South Asia, bordered by India to the north, east, and west, Myanmar to the southeast, and the Bay of Bengal to the south. It has a population of over 160 million people, making it the eighth most populous country in the world.

The capital city of Bangladesh is Dhaka, which is also the largest city in the country. Other major cities include Chittagong, Khulna, and Rajshahi.

Bangladesh has a rich history and culture, with influences from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. The official language is Bengali, but English is widely spoken and understood, particularly in urban areas.

The economy of Bangladesh is primarily based on agriculture, with the country being one of the world's largest producers of rice. The textile industry is also a major contributor to the economy, with garments accounting for a significant portion of the country's exports.

Tourism is a growing industry in Bangladesh, with attractions such as the Sundarbans mangrove forest, the Cox's Bazar beach, and historical landmarks such as the ancient city of Paharpur and the Mosque City of Bagerhat.
