do u like Bangali people or their culture, or what do u know about Bangladesh and it's people?

Answer 1

I love Bangladesh and Bengali culture. Like India and Pakistan (or anywhere for that matter), it would be very difficult to generalize the people and their culture. Although many speak Bangla (Bengali), there many languages spoken in the villages and a variety of regional traditions. Off the top of my head, two things about Bangladesh: They eat more potatoes than their Indian neighbors and it is very difficult to find size 9 women's shoes. Oh, and if you go to Pizza Hut in Dhaka, expect to find a doorman and some really good tomato basil soup. OK, I know a bit more than that, but I think those are a few things you may not be able to find on Wikipedia.com!

Answer 2

Oh my God!! Hafiz wrote you an essay about Bangladesh. I hope you've finished reading :) What more I can write you about BD?
Anyway, I'm from Bangladesh and i think its the best place in the world. I love the people, love the food and culture. I just miss all of those cause I live in London now. I think I can never adjust here.
Bangladeshi people are simple although most of them are poor. They can work hard. Very friendly and respectful.

Answer 3

I am from Bangladesh and I like my people and its culture. Having said this, I would like to evaluate the way present day Bangladeshi or the Bengali in greater sense are behaving in Bangladesh as well as in India. If we take a closure look then we may find that our leaders in both side of the Bengal (Bangladesh and West Bengal) are still nurturing old style of leadership when the British were ruling this subcontinent. These foolish leaders are keeping Bengali speaking people at a disadvantage in compare to the people of other major language. Punjabi in particulars. So, wake up the people and its leader and make new vow to lead the Bengali and Bangladeshi people in a more meaningful way, thereby liberate us from constant poverty and all the ills associated with this curse.

The culture of Bangladesh is quite distinct in nature and has got significant identity. It can easily be distinguished from other culture of the world. It is the product of this soil and suit the climate and ecology of the country. The People of Bangladesh are born and brought up in this culture. They feel comfort in it. Now it has become a mirror of the national life of the Bangladeshis. So, the cultural policy of Bangladesh should be the central force in identifying positive national awareness. This national cultural awareness worked as the main factor in the Language Movement of 1952 and the Liberation War of 1971. During the British and the Pakistani rule the people of Bangladesh was culturally handicapped. Attempts were taken at that time to divert Bangalee culture to different directions. Rabindra songs were discouraged and stopped in Radio and Television. Proposal was also given by the Pakistani rulers to make Urdu as the only state language of Pakistan, which was strongly protested by the students of Dhaka University. A strong movement was launched by all sections of Bangalee People in 1952. This historic movement is known as "Language Movement". This Movement reached its culmination in the Liberation War of 1971. During this period national feelings were strongly felt by the sons of this soil. They became conscious of their traditional culture. After the Liberation, the cultural policy took a new turn. The awareness of the need for a secular cultural policy in the country followed by the Governmental practice of Arts promotion, has been growing since then. Although there is a great deal of traditional culture in Bangladesh, various new forms began to appear by this time. At the same time efforts have been made to protect the indigenous Bangalee Culture from corruption and to promote it in its traditional form. Government of Bangladesh has taken all responsibilities for its protection, preservation and promotion. The lost elements are being discovered through researches and thereby revived in the national life. Active patronization is being extended to all who are engaged in the work of cultivating and promoting its various branches. Cultural pacts are being made with the developed countries of the world, so that our artists can go there, present performances and exhibit our cultural heritage world wide. Similarly artistes of other countries are also invited to our country, so that our artistes can learn from them the technological know-how and this is very much helpful to develop our culture. Training facilities are being extended to the new comers for their professional development. In the constitution of Bangladesh there are provisions regarding the promotion of our Arts and culture in Article Nos. 23 and 24 (see Legislation). Thus the Arts and Culture have gained a legal and Governmental backing.

Culture is the mirror of a nation. To know about a nation one has first to know about its culture and its people. However, the culture of Bangladesh assimilated all the acceptable elements during its long process of development, and thus, took its final shape in the secular character after the Liberation War of 1971. A number of tribal cultures also flourish in the country which introduced an element of diversity to the national character.
These para-national formations have been subsumed under the national culture, and are, a source of its pride and strength.

Identification of Indigenous Folk Culture of Bangladesh:
Bangladesh has a vast area of indigenous culture spread over whole national life and manifest from daily activities of its people. These may be placed into following broad categories in order to obtain a view of the picture of Bangladeshi culture.

The Bangalee Social life :
The majority of the Bangalee nation are farmer. They are 68.5% of the total population. 79.5% people live in 68000 villages. They are simple, courteous and hospitable. They live in joined families. The family bondage is holly and effective. The old member of the family is most honoured. His all sorts of maintenance are borne by the young members till his death.

Food :
Rice is the staple food of the Bangalee people. Fish, lentils and vegetables constitute main curry. Different kinds of cakes and sweetmeats are prepared in different seasons and festivals, particularly at the time of new harvest 'Nabanna'. As per their taste, the cakes are moulded into shapes of birds, fishes, kites, wheels, moon, star, horses, cows etc. Other dehydrated and preserved food stuffs are also prepared according to crops cycles of different grains and are accompanied with ceremonies and songs of the season.

Dress and ornament :
The dress and costumes are extensively varied. Cotton lungi and a jersey called 'Kurta' are the common attire for men in the rural areas, as opposed to shirts, trousers and pajamas in the urban areas. Saree is women's universal dress. In ancient time ornaments were used by both men and women. But now, men do not wear ornaments; it is lavishly used by women only. Each and every limbs of the body like head, hair, ear, nose, throat, arm, wrist, finger, waist, ankle, toe etc. has its own particular ornament which sometimes varies in shapes and sizes. Man cut their hair short, but women do not cut it. Long hair is the object of pride and beauty for women. Bangalee women are very shy. They covers their whole body with the Saree. Even head and face are also covered by its skirts called 'Ghumta'. The wives are dedicated in the service and nursing of their husbands.

Housing :
The villagers live in huts and cottages. Wood, bamboo and leaves of trees or 'Ulu' (a particular type of long grass) are used for house. Cane, wild creeper and jute are used as rope. Jute stick is used for fencing. In some areas mudwall is also found. Bangladesh being a rainy area, the roof of the cottage is made in 'Dochala' shape which is typical and found only in this country. Tin-shade houses have also been introduced in the villages now a days. In towns and cities people live in tin-shade houses and buildings
