Culture of Bangaladesh...
The Culture of
Bangladesh (Bengali:
বাংলাদেশের সংস্কৃতি —
Bangladesher Sôngskr̥iti) refers to
the way of life of the people of
Bangladesh.
It has evolved over the centuries and encompasses the cultural
diversity of several social groups of Bangladesh. The
Bengal Renaissance
of the 19th and early 20th centuries, noted Bengali
writers,
saints,
authors,
scientists, researchers, thinkers,
music composers,
painters, and
film-makers
have played a significant role in the development of
Bengali culture.
The Bengal Renaissance contained the seeds of a nascent
political Indian nationalism and was the precursor in many ways
to modern Indian artistic and cultural expression. The culture
of Bangladesh is composite and over the centuries has
assimilated influences of
Hinduism,
Jainism,
Buddhism,
Islam, and
Christianity.
It is manifested in various forms, including
music,
dance, and
drama;
art and
craft;
folklore
and
folktale;
languages
and
literature;
philosophy
and
religion;
festivals
and celebrations; as well as in a distinct
cuisine and
culinary tradition.
