The story of this flag

The national flag of Bangladesh, nicknamed the Lal–Sobuj, was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It consists of a red circle on top of a dark green field. The red circle is offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The civil ensign and naval ensign place it in the canton of a red or white field, respectively.
