Bangladesh culture

The Bengal region's rich folk legacy is enhanced by its long history as an animist, Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim community. Among the first artistic mediums are terracotta sculpting, pottery, and weaving. Bangladesh's most well-known literary contributions are from the legendary Bengali poets Rabindranath Tagore and Nasrul Islam. However, in the recent past, Tas lima Nasreen's writings have taken Centre stage due to her vocal criticism of Islam's treatment of women and her threats of death from extremist Muslims. At the local level, folk theatre is frequently performed, mainly around the harvest season.



Muslims and Hindus in Bangladesh coexist rather peacefully. Religious leaders known as pirs, who hold a status halfway between that of a bishop and a sage, are the leaders of the majority Muslim population. Because Hinduism in Bangladesh lacks the grandeur and awe of its Indian counterpart, Hindu rituals are rarely held in the inner chambers of locked temples. Individuals at this place are quite open to you observing and perhaps taking part. These days, just a very small percentage of people identify as Buddhists. It's important to note that Bangladesh's pride in its heritage is counterbalanced by the country's intellectual culture, which has an Islamic slant and tends to downplay the contributions made by earlier Buddhist and Hindu cultures.
