He loves Pakistan way too much
Bangladeshi flag is also green. I love green.
15th April is the first day of Boishakh and first day of new year for Bengalis, maybe Bangladeshis, Sinhalese, Tamilians, Punjabis, Nepalese, Bhutanese celebrate it a day earlier.
It was used to be on 15th April in East Pakistan. After 1966 the reserchers have found out the actual calender starts from 14th April. Bengalis, Tamilians, Sinhalese, Nepalese, Bhutanese share same calender.
..................................
Bengali New Year (Bengali: পহেলা বৈশাখ, Poila Boishakh; Bengali: নববর্ষ, Nôbôbôrshô), occurring on 14 April or 15 April, is the first day of the Bengali calendar, celebrated in the Bangladesh and in the Indian state of West Bengal, by the Bengali people and also by minor Bengali communities in other Indian states, including Assam, Tripura, Jharkhand and Orrisa.
Poila Boishakh is celebrated with grandeur and colours in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh. The celebrations are started at the break of dawn
In Kolkata, Poila Boishakh (and the entire month of Boishakh) is considered to be an auspicious time for marriages. These days people wear new clothes and go about socialising.
Pôhela Bôishakh in West Bengal is celebrated on 14/15 April. However according to the revised version of the calendar in Bangladesh, Pôhela Bôishakh now always falls on 14 April in Bangladesh. The mathematical difference between the sidereal (non-revised) and the tropical (revised) calendar accounts for the difference of starting the new year in West Bengal and Bangladesh. Because of this the length of the months are also not fixed in the sidereal calendar (non-revised), but rather are based on the true movement of the sun.
