  H.R. No. 201
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Bangladesh Day is taking place at the State Capitol
  on February 21, 2023, providing a welcome opportunity to honor the
  history and achievements of its people, including the thousands of
  Bangladeshi Americans who make their homes in Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Located in the delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra
  Rivers in the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent, the
  area that now makes up Bangladesh was part of the province of Bengal
  during the era of British colonial rule on the Indian subcontinent,
  from the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries; the region became part of
  Pakistan following the partition of India in 1947; and
         WHEREAS, In 1971, Bangladesh gained its independence, and its
  capital was established at Dhaka; over the past half-century, the
  country's economy has become one of the fastest growing in the
  world; new developments in agricultural practices have increased
  production of rice, jute, tea, and other products; moreover, the
  garment industry is integral to national commerce, employing
  millions of people; while Bangladesh continues to grapple with many
  of the challenges common to the developing world, expanded access
  to health care, social services, and education have improved the
  well-being of its population in recent decades; and
         WHEREAS, Emigrants from Bangladesh have made contributions
  to countries around the globe, and more than 185,000 Bangladeshi
  Americans reside in the United States; Texas is home to over 11,000
  individuals of Bangladeshi heritage, with a particularly large
  community living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; and
         WHEREAS, Bangladeshi Americans have greatly contributed to
  the vibrancy of the Lone Star State, and it is a pleasure to welcome
  the visiting delegation to the Texas statehouse on this special
  occasion; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 21, 2023, as Bangladesh Day
  at the State Capitol and extend to all those in attendance sincere
  best wishes for a memorable and productive stay in Austin.
