As a Pakistani, many many apologies to our Bengali brothers and sisters. Pakistan was a clear oppressor to you and still hasn't admitted. May you guys keep progressing and gain success.

Bangladesh was literally one of the richest places on earth when the British took over and forced them to supply them with tea among other things. Also he didn’t even really talk about the fact that Churchill exacerbated the famine in Bangladesh causing more to needlessly die. That is unbelievably significant and should always be mentioned. Famines can start with natural disasters that limit food supplies, but often times it is the government policies that make it significantly worse. See also the British and the Irish Famine, similar circumstances.

The Bengal Subah province in the Mughal Empire was the wealthiest state in the subcontinent. Bengal's trade and wealth impressed the Mughals so much that it was described as the Paradise of the Nations by the Mughal Emperors.

British ✨exploited✨ Bangladesh took advantages of their rich soil agriculture and lands
What lacks in this review is, the mughals were one of the best dynasties to rule in bangladesh to pioneer the socio economy, social structure , to implement the hierarchy chain in administrations and whereas the British were thieves who stole the money and sent it to England! I am not implying or saying that british rulers didn’t do anything but what they took was way far more than what they gave this county in return! Sorry if i was offensive ☺️

Amazing. You've covered almost everything in just few minutes.
You really think it was the British who improved health and technology! I'm pretty sure there was more development under the Mughals.
Thanks alot💕made me more curious to learn history.. Expecting more videos other than formation of a countries.. It will be more helpful if you covered the Battles and wars, the most confusing ones
Bangladesh would've improved anyway without the British...even if we were under the British rule .... in Bangladesh wealthy Bengalis made hospitals, schools and brought electricity....not the British....they just gave permissions and that's what they did...
How you roll your tongue is admirable when pronouncing all of these languages. Oh, the Pakistani green elbow bashing on East Pakistan is a witty visual. Again, a lot of work for less than one second of footage.
Incredible how much detail you can squeeze in in less than 5 minutes.

Very biased storytelling. British taught bengalis hygiene!!? There were times when kings in bengal/india did not like britishers who didn't even learn to properly clean themselves after pooping. 200 years of exploitation and tyrannies brought absolute devastation in bengal. Hygiene wasn't a concern for common when you don't have enough food.

The video was great. But, there was overt simplification in some places that might cause some misconception. Suppose, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman can't be outright called a dictator as he was elected by the people but was killed just 3 years into his tenure, the reign of Ershad was a dictatorship, and both Khaleda Zia (elected PM 2 times) and Sheikh Hasina was elected democraticly.

The independence war of Bangladesh lasted for 9 months (25 march 1971-16 december 1971 ). 3 million people gave their lives and 2 lakhk (200k) women lost their dignity. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was our national hero because of him Bangladesh was able to achieve independence. On August 15, 1975, he and his whole family lost life in the hands of the anti-independence forces.
