#1 As many as 100 members of the US peace corps were engaged in providing English language training to school teachers in Bangladesh,

Bangladesh needs English language trainers?

Bengal was one of the first parts of India to be ruled by the British. They've had 200 years of rule where english was the official language.

In India, English is still an official langauge.
The courts for instance, operate in English.

What has happened since the partition in 1947 to create this situation?
