Extractions: Bangladesh The Bengal region has a multifaceted folk heritage, enriched by its ancient animist, Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim roots. Weaving, pottery and terracotta sculpture are some of the earliest forms of artistic expression. The best known literature of Bangladesh is the work of the great Bengali poets Rabindranath Tagore and Nasrul Islam, though these giants have been overshadowed recently by the furore over the writings of Taslima Nasreen who has received death threats from Muslim fundamentalists for her outspoken critiques of Islam's oppression of women. Folk theatre is common at the village level and usually takes place during harvest time or at melas (village fairs). There are many folk dances, but classical dance is largely borrowed from Indian models and is frowned upon by the more severe religious leaders. Bangladesh's Muslims and Hindus live in relative harmony. The Muslim majority has religious leaders, pirs , whose status straddles the gap between that of a bishop and that of a sage. Hinduism in Bangladesh lacks the pomp and awe of the Indian version, but consequently Hindu ceremonies are rarely conducted in the depths of temples to which access is restricted. People here are very willing for you to watch and even participate. Buddhists today form only a tiny minority of the population. It's worth noting that the Bangladeshi pride in ancestry is balanced by the Islamic slant of the country's intellectual life which tends to deny the achievements of the preceding Hindu and Buddhist cultures.

Nel 1991 un ciclone ha ucciso 560.000 persone. Popolazione Storia Situazione sociale e differenze fra la città e i villaggi. campagna Nelle città vi è un maggiore sviluppo economico e vi è una valorizzazione delle strutture stradali, della comunicazione, delle industrie e di altri servizi sociali come la scuola, i college, le università, gli ospedali, i supermercati e gli aeroporti. Nelle città ci sono quindi maggiori opportunità di lavoro e migliori possibilità di vita rispetto alla campagna. Un altro motivo della differente crescita demografica delle famiglie nelle campagne e nelle città è il diverso livello di istruzione e di educazione sanitaria, che è più sviluppato nelle città. Nelle città le famiglie sono più piccole e comprendono al massimo due o tre figli. I genitori infatti sempre più sono portati a pensare che avere troppi figli porterebbe ad una situazione di povertà e adottano quindi comportamenti contraccettivi adeguati.

International Campaign to Safeguard the monuments and ancient sites of Paharpur and Bagerhat Paharpur and Bagerhat represent two aspects of ancient Bangladesh culture, Buddhism and Islam, and these two World Heritage Sites provide evidence of active cultural exchanges between East and West. Paharpur The Paharpur Vihara, known as Somapura Mahavira (the Great Monastery) was built by the Pala Emperor Dharmapala (770 - 810 AD) in the Rajashi District in the north of Bangladesh. This site is evidence of the development of Mahayana Buddhism in Bengal from the seventh century onwards. The monastery is quadrangular in form, with a colossal temple of a cross-shaped floor plan in the centre of the courtyard and 177 monastic cells along the enclosure walls on the four sides. This layout, and the decorations of carved stones and terracotta plaques, reflect the building's religious function, which is greatly influenced by Buddhist architecture from Cambodia and Java (Indonesia). Paharpur Vihara was inscribed on the

The Art and culture of bangladesh The Crafts of West Bengal
http://rubens.anu.edu.au/student.projects/offerings/bangladesh.2.html

Extractions: West Bengal, situated to the north-east of the Indian peninsula, though a small state in terms of extent, displays in one or other of its areas, all the geophysical natures of the subcontinent. West Bengal's rich and living traditions of handicrafts often transcend the political boundaries that divide the people of Bengal today. These craft traditions are primarily folk in character and are related closely to the area's geographic conditions and the resultant rich traditions of folk music, literature and culture. In the products and processes of the craftswomen and men lives the traditions of thousands of years of Bengali history and culture. The forgotten folk gods and goddesses from the mangalkabyas , the cultural mix of Muslims and Hindus at the rural level still manifest themselves in the crafts. It is often far from the big cities where history is made and preserved. Handicrafts of West Bengal keep that history, which is frequently not even known by the city folks, alive. In spite of their particular regional and local characteristics, however, the handicrafts of West Bengal are not divorced from the broader social and cultural heritage of India. Like other Indian crafts, their cultural fabric and expression are based on religion, rituals and frequently caste.

http://www.mapzones.com/world/asia/bangladesh/cultureindex.php

Extractions: Country Info Bangladesh Introduction Bangladesh General Data Bangladesh Maps Bangladesh Culture ... Bangladesh Time and Date Bangladesh Culture Back to Top The typical household in Bangladesh, particularly in the villages, includes several generations of extended family. Most marriages are arranged by parents or other relatives, but increasing numbers of educated men and women choose their own partners. Custom and religion among Muslims require that a dowry be offered by the husband to the wife, but it is usually claimed only in the event of separation or at the husband's death. Divorce is permissible among Muslims. Hindu marriage is sacramental, but a Hindu can obtain a separation by application to a court of law. Muslim law permits limited polygamy. Bangladeshi culture is, in many respects, inseparable from that of greater Bengal, and since the early 19th century a majority of the most widely read and admired Bengali writers and artists, Hindu as well as Muslim, worked for a time in the Indian metropolis of Calcutta (now Kolkata). Greatest among these was the Hindu writer, artist, and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore. Classical, light-classical, devotional, and popular music enjoy a wide following in Bangladesh. Classical dancing is of various Indian schools, such as bharata natyam, and indigenous folk genres are being developed. The main festivals in Bangladesh are religious. The two most important are 'Id al-Fitr, which comes at the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, and 'Id al-Adha, or the festival of sacrifice, which follows two and a half months later. On both occasions families and friends exchange visits. more formal occasions they dress in a modification of the Western suit. The traditional sherwani and churidar, calf-length tunic and close-fitting trousers, are still seen at weddings, where they are worn along with the turban. The sari is common among women, but girls and younger women, especially students, prefer the shalwar kamiz, a combination of calf-length shirt and baggy silk or cotton trousers gathered at the ankles.
