There is a Bangla phrase that goes on redirecting a funny yet witty meaning: “Chagol’er tritiyo baccha lafay beshi” (the goat’s third child jumps more). Will come to this reference later, but first, we need to put the focus on something else. Bangladesh, as a country, existed under three vital phases in history - first, it was named “East Bengal” under British India which continued till 1947, then it was called “East Pakistan” under Two-Wing Pakistan until 1971, and finally, it received its status as “Bangladesh”, a sovereign country in South Asia - after the 1971 Liberation War between the then-two-wings Pakistani states. Given these movements, reversals, and renewals - the idea of Bangladesh has been contingent and fluid.
