The Bengali east provincial flag showed a [[Crescent and star]] within a [[Red#Color of sunset|Red disc]] on top of a dark green field, offset slightly left towards the hoist so that it appeared centred when the sub-national flag was flying in the erstwhile lost territory. The traditional crescent moon and star was to represent its association with a Federal Pakistan and its commitments to [[Islam]] and the wider ''Muslim Ummah'', the Red disc represented the '''bloodshed''' and [[Partition of India|Partition]] they fought so hard for a Muslim Indian homeland during the dark days of misrule and occupation by foreign powers, and the new sun rising over [[Bengal]] as a new dawn for the celebration of the [[Independence Day of Pakistan|1947 Islamic Independence]], and also the Muslim blood of those who died for their [[Muslim League]] political agenda from the Hindus and the British imperial colonialism. The dark green field stood for the Muslims of the eastern sector land of the former [[province]] that united them briefly against the dominant hostile majority non-Muslim of volatile [[Republic of India]]. It has been since 1972 replaced by the separatist New current regime of an [[Flag of Bangladesh|Independentist aspirant Bangladesh Flag]]. ==Separatist flag== <gallery> Image:Flag of Bangladesh (1971).svg|Rebel Bengali Nationalist flag (1971) </gallery> ==Related pages== * [[Flag of Pakistan]] (Federal) == References == <!-- Inline citations added to your article will automatically display here.
