The question is wrong. Britain did never lose Bangladesh. Actually British Indian subcontinent was under the umbrella of British Imperialism uptill 1947; and Bangla desh was only an eastern province of sub-continent. Britain divided subcontinent into two parts named Pakistan and India in 1947. Pakistan comprised five provinces inclusive of Eastern Bangal while the province of West Bengal was included in India. Bangladesh was called East Pakistan from 1947 to 1971. During this period, Bangladesh formed a part of Pakistan's federation. In result of a prolonged Civil war caused by frustration, political instability, resentment and because being in severe state of desperation toward Pakistan, there broke out open war between both wings of then united Pakistan. It resulted in the separation of East Pakistan on 17 Dec. 1971. In the aftermath, it became independent and renamed itself Bangladesh. Actually Bangladesh got independence from Pakistan not from Britain.
