In Bangladesh, Valentine's Day has been popular since 1980s,[citation needed] despite being celebrated since 498 AD all over the world.[1][2] On the day, especially youngs, people exchange various greeting cards, flowers, chocolates or gifts.[3][4] However, despite being much widespread, country’s conservative society view the celebration of the day as an un-Islamic value and a heretic culture, and thus discourage the celebration by the young boys and girls.
Once the country celebrated "authoritarianism resistance day" popularly on the same date, before the Valentine's Day spread among the people.[5][6]
