Our National Flag
A national flag is a piece of cloth with a special coloured design which introduces the country to the whole world. It is the symbol of independence of a nation. Every nation of the world has a national flag of her own. As an independent country, Bangladesh has also a national flag. The proportion of its length and breadth is 10:6. Our national flag is a piece of rectangular green cloth with a red circle at the centre. The radius of the red circle is one-fifth of the length of the flag. The green colour represents the admiration of youthful vigour as well as the green fields and the ever green subtropical forest of Bangladesh. The red circle symbolizes the rising sun with new hopes and aspiration of a new nation. The flag is hoisted everyday at top the important government buildings and educational institutions. In the other countries where there are our high commission offices and in the UNO, our national flag is hoisted. In peacekeeping missions in foreign countries, our army personnel bear the flag. It is hoisted everywhere on the independence day and the victory day. It is kept half mast during the National Mourning days. Our national flag always inspires us to dedicate our lives for the greater interest of the country. We are determined to keep its respect high at any cost. We can uphold its honour by doing our duty to the nation.
