Islam made its first emergence for the period of the 12th century while Sufi missionaries indoors. soon after, infrequent Muslim raiders reinforced the method of renovation by building mosques, madrassas and Sufi Khanqah.

The boundaries of current Bangladesh were established by the partition of Bengal and India in 1947, when the area became East Pakistan, part of the recently formed Islamic State of Pakistan. but, it was divided as of the western wing by 1,600 km (994 mi) of Indian land. outstanding to political omission, racial and linguistic intolerance, as well as financial neglect by the politically prevailing West Pakistan, popular protest led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman grew in opposition to West Pakistan, follow-on in the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, which the Bengali people won by way of the support of India.
