The scope of Culture is vast and extensive. It is almost impossible to explain in one word, one sentence. But generally speaking, culture is the diverse integrated form of human life practices and behavior. People's way of life, tradition, behavior, belief-disbelief, thought-consciousness, ethics-these are the main ingredients of culture. Culture is the ethnic characteristic of a nation. Culture is the only way to know who is English, who is French, who is Dutch, who is Danish, who is German, who is Turkish and who is Bengali. The culture of one nation is not the same as the culture of another nation. Culture also has many forms, many differences. As a particular country, Bengalis likewise have their own way of life. A Bengali eats rice-fish, wears lungi-Punjabi, pays attention to Jari-Sari-Bhatiyali - these are components of Bengali culture. There are great many components that bear the personality of Bengali. In light of its remarkable culture, Bengalis have made due and will keep on having a different presence on the planet. There are not many countries on earth who have dedicated their lives to culture. Indeed Bengali did. Language is a basic piece of our way of life. The predominant culture needed to remove this social right from us. Bengali didn't acknowledge it. Rafiq-Salam-Barkat-Jabbar forfeited their lives on account of Maneni. Bengalis paid attention to Rabindranath's music, however the predominant culture prohibited Rabindranath's music. Bengalis couldn't acknowledge it. Disobedience broke out. So apparently the job of culture behind the freedom development isn't less. Be that as it may, is culture changeless? Is culture static, unbending, steady? Does culture continue as before all through the ages? No, there should be change. Masters say that culture resembles a waterway. As a waterway heads in a different direction, culture likewise adjusts its direction. 

Chutki is a popular dish of Bengalis since ancient times. No one ate the meat of snails, crabs, bucks, ducks, roosters, cranes, camels, cows, pigs, etc. The practice of using sour curds with various curries has been in vogue ever since. Fruits include banana, date palm, mango, jackfruit, betel nut, coconut, etc. in the ancient food list of Bengalis. Apples, grapes, pears, currants etc. came from outside. But very little. There is no mention of pulse production or food in ancient Bengali food lists. Pulses were never cultivated in Bangladesh or East-India. Muri, chira, khai, naar- and non-oily pita were made from rice.

A lot of changes have happened in Bengali food culture in the span of hundred years. Rice and fish are still the staple foods of Bengalis, but rice production has changed. High-yielding varieties of rice have arrived. No one even thinks about rice mixed with ghee. Along with rice, flour-based breads and various types of biscuits, chanachur, semai, noodles etc. have now been added.

Presently we should discuss Bengali culture of dress and enhancement. The first style of Bengali dress was unstitched uniform. Bengali men wore dhoti and ladies wore sari. In the event that the monetary condition was great, a piece of fabric was utilized on the body. It was the North on account of men and the Cover on account of ladies. This cover filled in as a shroud when required. In the center and lower classes, one piece of fabric was sufficient, and they used to accomplish crafted by veiling with its edges if essential. Afterward, sewn garments were imported from North-West India.

Around the seventh and eighth hundreds of years, plans of blossoms, leaves, and so forth, became well known on fabric. The artists wore tight night wear from midriff to lower legs and a huge shroud around the neck. Nengti was worn by holy people and priests and unfortunate specialists. Fighters and Mallabis wore knee-length tight-night robe. Kids wore knee-length dhoti or tight-night wear. Bengalis never gave any head covering. He had long hair. Wavy hair hung freely over her shoulders. Some wore brushed brushes on their heads. Young ladies likewise had long hair. Attached with a bunch on the neck. Some would retreat. The long locks of holy people and priests were tied on the head in two stages. Youngsters' hair was tied on the head in three 'kakapaksha' packs. Officers and watches wore cowhide shoes concealed to the lower legs without bands. Average citizens didn't utilize shoes. The rich utilized wooden shoes. Hitched ladies utilized a tip of kajal on the temple, vermilion on the jawline and lips, lacsara on the feet, sandalwood powder, sandalwood glue and saffron on the body and face. Men used to keep fingernails long and paint them. Bilasinis used to rub milk all the rage and blossoms on their temples. Many wore blossom festoons around their necks. Commonly, when the chest fabric was taken out, the disgrace was tried not to by cover the chest with a wreath of blossoms. Baranganas wore ragged garments on their bodies, gold wristbands on their arms, attached their hair with fragrant oil and tied blossom laurels around it. Youthful palm leaf pendants were worn in the ears.

Bengali apparel and beautification culture has likewise gone through many changes over the long haul. Presently no one wears unstitched garments. Lungi had his spot all things considered. Affected by western culture, Bengalis began wearing jeans alongside lungi. The world class started to wear pants-shoot-tie. Selwar-kameez came rather than ladies' sarees, calfskin and plastic shoes rather than wooden shoes. During the zamindar period, average citizens wore shoes yet needed to remove their shoes while passing before the zamindar's home. Might you at any point consider those rules now? For many years, Bengalis didn't cover their heads. Caps, turbans went under the impact of Muslim culture. Ladies began wearing burqa. Lipstick, nail clean supplanted the utilization of polish on the lips. Rather than covering the chest with blossom festoons, pullovers, bras and so on were presented. Rather than studs with palm leaves and flower petals, gold and silver impersonation gems came. Sukshma karpus and silk fabric have vanished and presently different sorts of material are stylish. Presently it isn't important to gather henna leaves from the henna tree and put them close by. Different organizations have brought different bundled mehndi in the market under the name of 'Saz', 'Shahzadi' and so on. There has been no less change in sports. Among the ancient Bengali games was Hadudu or Kabaddi. Besides, there were Dariabandha, Gollachhoot, Naukabaich, Elating Belating, Kite flying, Bolikhela, Kardi, Marble, Sholghunti, Latim, Danguli or Danguli, Etching Beeching, Openty Boscope, Kutkut, Flower Toka, Puppetry, Nunta, Pani Jhuppa, Kanamachi, Gaigodani. , Topavati, Ludu etc. Although these games are still in vogue in some parts of rural villages, these games are no longer popular in the city. Instead of these, cricket, football etc. games started to become popular. Hockey, video games and computer or internet based games have now entered the cities and even the villages. A huge change has been achieved in Bengali entertainment. Yatrapala was once in vogue. Now that place has been occupied by theater, cinema, radio, television. There are various battery powered toy cars, plastic dolls, animals and birds. Poetry is not very popular now as before. Puthipath is also not seen. In ancient times Bengali music was influenced by Sanskrit hymns. The Vaishnava inspired hymns of that period are still sung in East Indian temples today. A prominent example of this national anthem is 'Gitgovindam' composed by poet Jayadeva in the 13th century. There was Jari-Sari-Bhatiyali song. Baul music became popular in Bengal in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tantric Kartabhaja sect and Islamic Sufi philosophy had a great influence on this song. Then came Rabindra Sangeet. One of the most popular genres of Bengali music. The lyrics of these songs are deeply influenced by the ancient Hindu Dharmashastra Upanishads and medieval Vaishnava Padavali and Baul songs. Then came Nazrul Geeti and other traditional music. The concept of patriotic songs originated in the Hindu Mela or Swadeshi Mela organized in 1867. Bengali modern music genre is also quite rich. From the 1990s, Bengali band music centered on western ideas and modern urban life emerged. Now this band's music has a huge audience. There has likewise been an extraordinary change in Bengali celebrations. Bangladesh was the nation of thirteen Parbans in a year. Durga Puja, Lakshi Puja, Mansa Puja, Swaraswati Puja and different puja-celebrations were common among Bengalis. Then came Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Azha, Muharram, Ashura and different celebrations under Muslim impact. These celebrations are as yet common as in the past, however the style of the celebration has changed. Eid culture has changed over the long run. There is an enormous contrast between the Eid culture of many a long time back and the ongoing Eid culture. In the Bengali Muslim society of Bangladesh, the Eid culture has likewise gone through an extraordinary change over the most recent thirty years. Albeit the Eid culture of that time is on a very basic level equivalent to the present, many changes should be visible in the frill.

Language is one of the frill of culture. Yet, the difference in Bengali language with time is likewise observable. Numerous Arabic-Persian words began entering Bengali under Muslim impact. Numerous English words started to go under provincial impact. Once more, Rabindranath changed the language in which Bankimchandra composed writing. His abstract language is more current. Writers like Manik-Tarashankar made the language more current. A significant change in language was seen in Syed Waliullah's writing. The present language is vastly different than previously. Presently there is an extraordinary discussion about language. Out and about, on the walkway, on the transport, in the train, on TV dramatizations, television shows and radio, one can't hear the genuine utilization of Bengali language. Language change has been accomplished due to financial changes and contrasts in the degree of correspondence. Notwithstanding the above limbs of culture, there are great many extremities, the peruser will see an adjustment of them with just enough consideration. In any case, the inquiry is, what is the advantage or loss of this adjustment of culture? There is no question that there are the two additions and misfortunes. Everything has positive and negative viewpoints. Globalization is changing our way of life. As there is satisfaction in this change, there is no less aggravation. What is bliss in culture change? As referenced before, Bengali culture was to wear unstitched garments. Bengalis wore saris and dhoti. Then the pattern of lungi began. We wear pants-shirts now. Be that as it may, these are not Bengali garments. Not the garments of this country, this dirt, this culture. Still we are wearing. Bengalis used to eat rice with their hands nevertheless do. However, a few Bengalis presently use Katachamach. Bengalis used to make rice by beating it, make rice powder, and sift rice with cows. Be that as it may, presently the machine has shown up. Machines do everything. Prior, it was not piece of Bengali culture for ladies to leave the family. Presently ladies are working in workplaces and courts, ladies are administering the country. Prior zamindari, feudalism was the Bengali culture. Presently it is inconceivable. Many such changes have occurred in Bengali culture. Be that as it may, these are positive changes. Because of this change, the existence of Bengalis has moved along. This social change satisfies us. Nothing remains to be regretted about the deficiency of culture, there is not a glaringly obvious explanation to be miserable. Yet, not all change is motivation to celebrate. There are sure components of culture which, whenever changed, lead to ethnic emergency. For instance Bengalis eat rice and fish. Presently in the event that rice and fish are supplanted with burgers or pizzas, there is a misfortune factor. How is the harm? We should accept Bengali pitha made of rice. Pitha comes from rice. Since rice fills in Bengal. Wheat isn't local to Bengalis. Bengalis used to make khai, mudri, rice, chira, chalvaja and numerous sorts of pitha from rice. As a rule oil was not expected to make them. These are Bengali's own way of life. This culture will be lost assuming unfamiliar food sources come. It will make a financial emergency. These societies are connected with the economy. Assuming Bengalis begin eating pizza and burgers rather than rice, the country's paddy ranchers will endure. Because of the boundless utilization of oil among Bengalis rather than dry food, different sicknesses are flourishing in the body. At the point when a Bengali watches unfamiliar channels separated from his own diversion, he likewise watches promotions for unfamiliar items. Subsequent to seeing that commercial, one becomes dependent on unfamiliar items. At the point when a Bengali is impacted by unfamiliar culture, besides the fact that it loses its social follows or experience social misfortune, yet in addition monetary misfortune. At the point when Bengali Jari-Sari-Bhatiyali is forgotten about and the band becomes dependent on music, the conventional Bengali nostalgia will vanish and distress will emerge. Bengali Jari-Sari-Bhatiali or Rabindra-Najrul music quiets the psyche, then again Western impacted band music upsets the brain. Along these lines, culture changes over the long haul, will occur. This is ordinary. A few changes are gladly received. In any case, there is no question that ethnic emergency will be made assuming every one of the progressions are acknowledged.
