== Too long (June 20 23) ==

Currently the article is appropriately tagged as too long, at 105kB of readable prose. Do editors have any ideas for how best to shorten it? —Alalch E. 08:54, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History byte count of India is 22,175. History byte count of Bangladesh is 101,741. ~4.6 times larger. India is a featured article. Conclusion: The history content in this article must be summarized.—Alalch E. 17:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladesh should be defined as "A country runned by dictator sheikh hasina. Its a beautiful country of 170 million oppresed people where people are fighting for their rights, freedom of speech and even fighting for their life against the dictator and its armed forces".
