Islamic culture in Bangladesh
Although Islam played a significant role in the life and culture of the people, religion did not dominate national politics because Islam was not the central component of national identity. When in June 1988 an "Islamic way of life" was proclaimed for Bangladesh by constitutional amendment, very little attention was paid outside the intellectual class to the meaning and impact of such an important national commitment. However, most observers believed that the declaration of Islam as the state religion might have a significant impact on national life. Aside from arousing the suspicion of the non-Islamic minorities, it could accelerate the proliferation of religious parties at both the national and the local levels, thereby exacerbating tension and conflict between secular and religious politicians. Unrest of this nature was reported on some college campuses soon after the amendment was promulgated.

 

বাংলাদেশের ইসলামী সংস্কৃতি

যদিও ইসলাম মানুষের জীবন ও সংস্কৃতিতে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করে, ধর্ম জাতীয় রাজনীতিতে প্রাধান্য পায়নি কারণ ইসলাম জাতীয় পরিচয়ের কেন্দ্রীয় উপাদান ছিল না। ১৯৮৮ সালের জুন মাসে সংবিধান সংশোধনের মাধ্যমে বাংলাদেশের জন্য একটি "ইসলামী জীবনধারা" ঘোষণা করা হলে, বুদ্ধিজীবী শ্রেণীর বাইরে এ জাতীয় গুরুত্বপূর্ণ জাতীয় অঙ্গীকারের অর্থ ও প্রভাবের প্রতি খুব কমই মনোযোগ দেওয়া হয়।

বাংলাদেশের ইসলামী সংস্কৃতি

যাইহোক, অধিকাংশ পর্যবেক্ষক বিশ্বাস করেছিলেন যে ইসলামকে রাষ্ট্রধর্ম হিসাবে ঘোষণা জাতীয় জীবনে উল্লেখযোগ্য প্রভাব ফেলতে পারে। অ-ইসলামী সংখ্যালঘুদের সন্দেহ জাগানোর পাশাপাশি, এটি জাতীয় এবং স্থানীয় উভয় স্তরে ধর্মীয় দলগুলির বিস্তারকে ত্বরান্বিত করতে পারে, যার ফলে ধর্মনিরপেক্ষ ও ধর্মীয় রাজনীতিবিদদের মধ্যে উত্তেজনা এবং দ্বন্দ্ব আরও বেড়ে যায়।এই ধরনের অস্থিরতা কিছু কলেজ ক্যাম্পাসে রিপোর্ট করা হয়েছিল শীঘ্রই সংশোধনী জারি করা হয়েছিল।

Bengal tiger

  Bengal tiger   In Bangladesh, tigers are now relegated to the forests of the Sundarbans and the Chittagong Hill Tracts . The Chittagong forest is contiguous with tiger habitat in India and Myanmar , but the tiger population is of unknown status . As of 2004, population estimates in Bangladesh ranged from 200 to 419 individuals, most of them in the Sundarbans.This region is the only mangrove habitat in this bioregion , where tigers survive, swimming between islands in the delta to hunt prey. Bangladesh's Forest Department is raising mangrove plantations supplying forage for spotted deer . Since 2001, afforestation has continued on a small scale in the Sundarbans. From October 2005 to January 2007, the first camera trap survey was conducted across six sites in the Bangladesh Sundarbans to estimate tiger population density. The average of these six sites provided an estimate of 3.7 tigers per 100 km 2 (39 sq mi). Since the Bangladesh Sundarbans is an area ...

Rickshaw art

Rickshaw art In Bangladesh, rickshaw art dates back to the 1950s and every conceivable part of the rickshaw is painted. In addition to geometric designs, there are depictions of flowers, birds and even popular actresses. The rickshaw can be decorated to show the driver's religious beliefs and sometimes even a commentary on current social issues. [1] In Bangladesh, rickshaw art is looked down upon by the elite population. [2] The three-wheeled pedicab, more commonly known as the rickshaw , has been around since the 1940s. Initially, they were undecorated, but starting in the late 1940s, the faces of movie stars began appearing as decorative motifs on shields at the back of the rickshaws along with a variety of floral paintings. The unique trend of rickshaw art started from Rajshahi and Dhaka in Bangladesh and took its own style in each district. For instance, Chittagong being a more pious city then Dhaka mostly had floral or scenery art whereas Comilla has plain rick...
