The Ministry of Cultural Affairs has announced seven priority programmes, including a nationwide talent hunt and a youth festival, to reignite the cultural landscape of Bangladesh.
Finance Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali presented this proposed budget in the National Parliament on Thursday. However, representatives from the cultural sector have expressed dissatisfaction with this allocation, much like in previous years.
Highlighting the universal appeal of Nazrul's poetry, Dr Kamal, who is also a poet, stressed the need to expand translation efforts to present the rich literary heritage of Bengal on the global stage. He urged bringing masterpieces of Bangla literature, including Nazrul's transcendent works, to readers across the world through high-quality translations. This would not only honour the genius of pioneers like the Rebel Poet but also facilitate a wider appreciation and understanding of the region's literary and cultural legacy among international audiences.
To appreciate and honour our cultural diversity, we must oppose extremist forces and implement inclusive policies.
In a remarkable cultural revival, the traditional "Pangkhum" cultural heritage of the Marma community has been brought back to life after a 15-year hiatus with the mesmerising performance of "Maha Janakha." The event took place at the Rening area in the Rajbila Union of Bandarban district, marking a significant moment for the local community.
National Book Centre must do a better job to fulfil its mandate
600-year-old structure in Dinajpur yet to be recognised as a heritage site
Local authorities deserve kudos for recovering British-era structure
LiveSquare Bangladesh, in association with Norway-Bangladesh Musical Co-Operation and the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, is to host the first ever music weekend in Bangladesh, titled “Bangladesh Music Week 2015”.
