Although its population is 160 million, it is not developing well compared to other Asian countries because of the division among the people. Many intellectuals tried to unite the nation. One of the most influential Islamic scholars of Bangladesh Sheikh Azizur Rahman Nesarabadi presented a unique theory to unite the Bangladeshi people and world citizens. He used and popularized the Arabic term 'Al-Ittehad m'al Ikhtilaf' (Unity in Diversity). He called for public unity conferences and invited leaders of different groups to be united with some common goals and aspirations. Most of the main political and religious leaders of Bangladesh responded to his invitation and agreed to be united following this theory. Every country of the world needs to apply this theory to live in peace and harmony with racial, political, religious and all other differences. To promote the unity among the people of diverse cultures and to know its successful implementation in different countries, it is important to conduct research on unity in diversity in Bangladesh. The main objectives of this study are to identify the key issues of division in Bangladesh and to find out the practical solution provided by Sheikh Azizur Rahman Nesarabadi.
