Bangladeshi Culture

Culture is the way we lead our life. Culture is the activities done throughout a day. Bangladeshi culture is very rich and ancient. Our culture has evolved through the process of give and take. But Bangladeshi culture has not lost its individual identity. Bangladesh is still an agricultural country. Bangladeshis are traditionally hospitable and simple minded. They are never unwilling to entertain a guest even he is passing through hardship. Bangladeshis are friendly and sympathetic. They have a very high regard for friendship. Science most of the people of the country are still illiterate; they are devoid of artificiality and sophistication. Polygamy was the common form of marriage but now most people seem to realize that monogamous life is better than polygamous system. But in the country still families are large because many families still believe in living jointly. The educated modern Bangladeshis now prefer monogamous family. Around 30% of the total population lives in the cities and towns. Our economic life is very slow since we have still an agricultural economy. But the process of industrialization has started very slowly. But the Bangladeshis have a rich tradition of handicraft and cottage industries. The traditional songs like Jari, Shari, marefati, Murshidi, Bhawaia, Palligiti and folk songs were in great demand in Bangladesh. But now western music and culture have inevitable influence on the Bangladeshis. Band and pop music is getting popular in our country. Now the modern Bangla song is sung in western melody. TV has become the major source of entertainment.
