Bangladesh is bordered by India and Burma. When British India attained independence
in 1947, it was partitioned into India and Pakistan. Pakistan consisted of East
Pakistan and West Pakistan. East Pakistan seceded from Pakistan in 1971, and
declared itself an independent republic of Bangladesh. For a more detailed
country profile, see CIA World Factbook on Bangladesh.
