In the Middle Ages the European treated Bengal (Bangladesh and West Bengal in India) as the richest country in the Indian Sub-continent to do business with. That’s why the English, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Danes all went to Bangladesh for fortune.

Bangladesh was the only part of India where the nation didn't originated from a tribe. They are a mixed race. Recent research in the West showed that mixed race people are the most talented. That's why Bangladesh produced the first Nobel laureate from Asia in 1913, it contributed to the 75% of scientific innovations coming out of the Indian Sub-continent. Bose-Einstein Theory on Quantum Physics, Invention of Radio, invention of 40 kinds of alloy(by Professor Abdus Sattar Miah) that made the spacecrafts, airplanes lighter and revolutionized the aviation industry and many more, such as Youtube and Paypal. A few more examples are below:

Bose–Einstein statistics, condensate and Boson: On 4 June 1924 the Bengali professor of Physics Satyendra Nath Bose mailed a short manuscript to Albert Einstein entitled Planck's Law and the Light Quantum Hypothesis seeking Einstein's influence to get it published after it was rejected by the prestigious journal Philosophical Magazine. The paper introduced what is today called Bose statistics, which showed how it could be used to derive the Planck blackbody spectrum from the assumption that Light was made of photons. Einstein, recognizing the importance of the paper translated it into German himself and submitted it on Bose's behalf to the prestigious Zeitschriftfür Physik. Einstein later applied Bose's principles on particles with mass and quickly predicted the Bose-Einstein condensate.

The God Particle or Higgs-Boson particle was named partly after S.N. Bose of Bengal.

Galena, applied use in electronics of: Bengali scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose effectively used Galena crystals for constructing radio receivers. The Galena receivers of Bose were used to receive signals consisting of shortwave, white light and ultraviolet light. In 1904 Bose patented the use of Galena Detector which he called Point Contact Diode using Galena. Mercurous Nitrite: The compound mercurous nitrite was discovered in 1896 by the Bengali chemist Prafulla Chandra Roy, who published his findings in the Journal of Asiatic Society of Bengal. The discovery contributed as a base for significant future research in the field of chemistry.

Mahalanobis distance: Introduced in 1936 by the Bengali statistician Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (29 June 1893–June 28, 1972), this distance measure, based upon the correlation between variables, is used to identify and analyze differing pattern with respect to one base.

Raychaudhuri equation: Discovered by the Bengali physicist Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri in 1954. This was a key ingredient of the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems of general relativity.

Saha ionization equation: The Saha equation, derived by the Bengali scientist MeghnadSaha (6 October 1893 – 16 February 1956) in 1920, conceptualizes ionizations in context of stellar atmospheres.

The word shampoo in English is derived from Hindustani champo and dates to 1762.The shampoo itself originated in the eastern regions of the Mughal Empire that ruled erstwhile India, particularly in the Nawab of Bengal where it was introduced as a head massage, usually consisting of alkali, natural oils and fragrances. Shampoo was first introduced in Britain by a Bengali entrepreneur from Bihar named Sake Dean Mahomed.

The Bengali medical practitioner Upendra Nath Brahmachari (19 December 1873 – 6 February 1946) was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1929 for his discovery of 'ureastibamine (antimonial compound for treatment of kalaazar) and a new disease, post-kalaazar dermal leishmanoid. Brahmachari's cure for Visceral leishmaniasis was the urea salt of para-amino-phenyl stibnic acid which he called Urea Stibamine. Following the discovery of Urea Stibamine, Visceral leishmaniasis was largely eradicated from the world, Ammonium nitrite, synthesis in pure form: Prafulla Chandra Roy synthesized NH4NO2 in its pure form, and became the first scientist to have done so. Prior to Ray’s synthesis of Ammonium nitrite it was thought that the compound undergoes rapid thermal decomposition releasing nitrogen and water in the process.

We have too many people in Bangladesh because people from all over the world went there for fortune throughout the history. We are a country of flood but floods are our saviour as they make the land fertile through siltation. We manage flood better than anybody in the world.
