I would rather pick up something which best represents Bangladesh to the eyes of the people and gives a narration onwards.
City people, Village folks & Tribes: The best things ever happened to Bangladesh is the diversity of the dwelling individuals all over the country. Majority of the People (almost 98%) living here are Bangladeshi and as a matter of fact, they all speak Bengali as their native language. When it comes to minority; it includes mostly Bihari (around 250000 in numbers), Chakmas, Garos, Marmas (or Maghs) and Mros. All these people vary from the local occupant in terms of customs, outfits & vernaculars.
