Revenue stamps of Bangladesh explained

Bangladesh first issued revenue stamps in 1972, the year after independence, and continues to do so to this day. Previously there was no country named Bangladesh and it was part of India (till 1947) and part of Pakistan (from 1947 to 1971) and respective revenues were used. From 1921 to 1947 various Indian revenues were overprinted BENGAL for use in modern Bangladesh and West Bengal.
