"Bangla-Desh" is a song by George Harrison released as a charity single after the disasters in East Pakistan in 1971. Harrison's mentor and friend sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar suggested the subject for this song, and later the collaboration evolved into The Concert for Bangla Desh.

The single's B-side "Deep Blue" had never been released on compact disc until it was included on the 2006 remastered version of Harrison's Living in the Material World album a bonus track. "Bangla-Desh" itself has only been released on the EMI compilation album, The Best of George Harrison in 1976.

[edit] Chart positions

The song charted - #10 and #23 in UK and US respectively in 1971.
