| | | | | | Muslim League: Encyclopedia II - Bangladesh - Economy Despite sustained domestic and international efforts to improve economic and demographic prospects, Bangladesh remains an underdeveloped, overpopulated, and ill-governed nation. Yet, as the World Bank notes in its July 2005 Country Brief, the country has made impressive progress in human development by focusing on increasing literacy, achieving gender parity in schooling, and reducing population growth.
Jute was once Bangladesh's economic engine. Its share of the world export market peaked in the late 1940s at 80% [5] and even in the ...

| | | | | Muslim League: Encyclopedia II - Vinayak Damodar Savarkar - Involvement in Assassination of Gandhi In the period leading to and immediately after Indian Independence, the stand taken by Mahatma Gandhi regarding division of assets between India and Pakistan created deep divisions in the country. Savarkar, by now one of the fiercest critics of the Mahatma, expressed his opposition to Gandhi's stance in no uncertain terms during that period. Later on when Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse, there were several allegations that Savarkar masterminded the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. This had its origins in Godse's membership of the M ...

| | | | | Muslim League: Encyclopedia II - Vinayak Damodar Savarkar - The Politician Savarkar joined the Hindu Mahasabha and was its president for seven consecutive years. During this time, he contributed significantly to its evolution as a separate political party.
