"In 1947, the partition of the Indian subcontinent resulted in the separation of India from Pakistan. The latter was a country divided into two physical halves, East and West Pakistan, separated not only by geography but also by language and culture. In 1971, East Pakistan gained its independence and became the nation of Bangladesh.
Since that time, the leaders of Bangladesh have been promoting archaeology, as well as theater, music and literary arts, to forge a distinct national identity. Museums, displaying representations of the past and present of the nation, were a particular focus of activity. Archaeology continues to be a focus of national heritage management and the Bangladeshi government has developed numerous museums and archaeological sites for public use. In addition to renovations at the historic Red Fort in the capital of Dhaka, a new archaeological museum has just been completed in the growing commercial city of Khulna. Museums of archaeology and folk life exist in the country's other large cities as well as at major archaeological sites."
