Answers
Indira Gandhi was the prime minister of India when Bangladesh became an independent state.
Explanation:
In August 1947, Bangladesh became the separate state country from India. On the demands of the Muslim majority people Bangladesh became the separate country as India had majority of Hindu people.
As a result of partition of India, Bengal was divided into two parts. Its Hindu-dominated area remained with India and was known as West Bengal and a Muslim-dominated area became part of Eastern Bengal Pakistan which was known as East Pakistan.
The zamindari tradition had kept this area horribly shabby against which a big movement started in the year 1950 and with the Bengali language movement of 1952, it became a major movement in the direction of the Bangladeshi republic. As a result of this movement, Bengali speaking people got their linguistic rights.
