And you think it’s ... ?
hands down B prob
B is correct.
The correct answer is b. Bangladesh was under British rule, then part of Pakistan, and then became independent.
To find this answer, you can start by researching Bangladesh's historical background. Bangladesh was formerly known as East Pakistan and was part of the larger region of Pakistan after the partition of India in 1947.
Next, you must understand the process of British colonialism and the formation of Pakistan. The British ruled over the Indian subcontinent as part of the British Raj until India gained independence in 1947. During the partition, India was divided into two separate countries - India (predominantly Hindu) and Pakistan (composed of two regions - West Pakistan and East Pakistan, which is present-day Bangladesh) - to address religious differences between Hindus and Muslims.
Lastly, you need to know that in 1971, the people of East Pakistan (Bangladesh) fought for independence due to political and linguistic discrimination by West Pakistan. They waged a Liberation War against West Pakistan, resulting in victory and the establishment of an independent Bangladesh.
By connecting these historical events, you can determine that Bangladesh was indeed under British rule, then part of Pakistan, and eventually became independent.
