How did Bangladesh get its flag?
The first flag, designed by a student named Serajul Alam, bore a red disk in the centre with a gold silhouette map of East Pakistan. When Mujibur Rahman (Sheikh Mujib), the leader of the Awami League, spoke out in favour of Bengali autonomy in March 1971, the new flag was displayed behind him.
What do the symbols on the Bangladesh flag mean?
A red disc is on top of the green field, offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying.
