Our National Flag

A national flag is the symbol of an independent nation. Being a free nation, we have a national flag of our own. It symbolizes our national integrity, solidarity and sovereignty. We got our national flag at the cost of a bloody war in 1971. The size/length and breadth of our national flag is 10:6. Its shape. is rectangular. It is made of cotton, linen or silk. It bears a combination of two colours. The major part of it is deep green. There is also a deep red round colour part in the middle of it. It looks like the rising sun. The green colour of it stands for everlasting youth, freshness and vigour of the nation. It also symbolizes the greenery of Bangladesh. The red round part of it symbolizes the rising sun of independence. It is hoisted everyday on our government offices and educational institutions. It is kept half mast on our national mourning days. Besides, it is hoisted everywhere on the independence day and victory day. We feel proud of our national flag. We should protect and uphold the honour of our national flag at, any cost. Even if it is necessary for us to sacrifice our lives to protect the honour of our national flag, we should do so.
