Bangladesh has experienced tremendous growth in industrial production since gaining independence in 1971. However, its industrial structure remains weak due to underdevelopment during colonial rule. The economy relies heavily on small and medium enterprises, which make up 25% of GDP. While the share of agriculture has declined, the manufacturing sector has increased its contribution to GDP but remains relatively small. The government aims to further industrialization by encouraging private investment, attracting foreign direct investment, and creating an enabling regulatory environment, especially for export-oriented industries, though challenges remain around infrastructure, skills, and energy.
Napoleon was born in Corsica in 1769 and rose through the ranks of the French military, helping to overthrow the government in a coup in 1799. He subsequently crowned himself emperor of France in 1804. Through a series of military victories, he gained control of much of Europe. While making some positive reforms, he also restricted freedoms and reinstated slavery. His invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and led to his eventual defeat at Waterloo in 1815, after which he was exiled to St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
The partition of Bengal in 1905 by the British Viceroy sparked widespread protests. The partition divided Bengal along religious lines for political reasons, encouraging division between Hindus and Muslims. Massive non-violent protests organized under leaders like Tilak included boycotts, swadeshi movements, and acts of civil disobedience. Though the British cracked down on protesters, the movement gained momentum and significance. Ultimately, the partition was reversed in 1911 due to its political impacts. However, it left lasting effects on religious politics and the growth of Indian nationalism.

Human trafficking is a serious global problem and crime against humanity. In Bangladesh, human trafficking occurs through criminal gangs exploiting poor and vulnerable people, especially women and children. Victims are often lured with false promises of employment abroad and then forced into sex work, domestic servitude, or other forms of exploitation. Common destinations for trafficked Bangladeshis include Middle Eastern countries, India, and Pakistan. Factors like poverty, lack of awareness, corruption, and weak law enforcement contribute to the high rates of human trafficking in Bangladesh. To address this issue, the document recommends strengthening laws against traffickers, increasing border security, economic development, and raising public awareness.
Political science is the study of the state, government, and politics. It deals with analyzing political systems and political behavior. There is debate around whether political science is a science or an art. While some argue it lacks the certainty and predictability of natural sciences, others argue it uses the scientific method of formulating generalizations based on observed facts. Overall, political science can be considered both a science, in that it systematically studies political phenomena, and an art, in that its knowledge can be applied practically.
