    Soon after the survey of the top 100 Britons searched in 2002, the BBC conducted a similar survey to find the greatest Bengali personality in the history of the Bengali nation for thousands of years. In 2004, the BBC’s Bengali service media conducted a survey from February 11 to March 22 with the most significant Bengali title of all time. Bangladeshis from Bangladesh, India (West Bengal, Tripura, Assam State), including Bangladesh, are participating in the survey. A total of 140 people nominated for the survey. The BBC started announcing the names of the top 20 from March 26, where a name announced on the daily average of 20 people. On the final day of April 14, which was also the first Baishakh (Bengali New Year), the BBC declared Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bengali of all time, based on the voting of Bengalis living in the world.

    Methodology

    In describing the voting process, the BBC’s Bangla service said that they followed the most sophisticated voting system to avoid any kind of error or controversy. Participants asked to nominate five choices instead of one to find the greatest Bengali on priority. Each voter’s top nominee given five points, the second nominee four points. Thus one point was given to the last fifth nominee. Based on the total points, the final list of the most magnificent Bengali survey made.

    Observations

    The BBC reports that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman scored almost double as much as second-place Rabindranath Tagore. In contrast, Tagore himself composed double as much as Kazi Nazrul Islam and Nazrul got double AK Fazlul Haq. There was not much difference in points between the remaining 17 people.

    The top six politicians are on the list with various writers and social reformers. The final list includes two evangelists, a scientist and an economist. Begum Rokeya was the only woman and Amartya Sen was the only survivor who made it to the top 20.
