Art, literature, music and other intellectual expressionsof a particular society are together regarded as theculture of that society. Ideas, customs and socialbehaviour of a particular people or society are also its‘culture’. Contrary to what we think, it is not easy todescribe ‘culture’, nor is it easy to write the culturalhistory. Writing the history of Bengali culture is evenmore difficult because Bengali society is truly plural in itsnature, made even more so by its political division. Thetwo main religious communities that share this cultureare often more aware of the differences between themthan the similarities. Nonetheless, the people remainbound by history and…
