History of Bangladesh
How Economics and Politics have Changed Culture
Owning land in Bangladesh is a socioeconomic statement as to your own wealth. This is not the only way to show your socioeconomic class as education and occupation can play a role in this.
Next, when it comes to justice sometimes it is up to the court, but in some rural areas criminals may be beaten in public. This shows how economics and politics can play a role in culture and how people live their daily lives.

Rabindranath Tagore
Amar Sonar Bangla
English Translation
My Golden Bengal
My golden Bangla,
I love you.
Forever your skies,
Your air set my heart in tune
As if it were a flute.
In spring, O mother
The fragrance from your mango groves
Makes me wild with joy,
Ah, what a thrill!
In autumn, O mother
In the full blossomed paddy fields
I have seen spread all over sweet smiles.
What beauty, what shades,
What affection, what tenderness!
What a quilt have you spread
At the feet of banyan trees
And along the bank of every river
Oh mother mine, words from your lips
Are like nectar to my ears.
Ah, what a thrill!
If sadness, O mother
Casts a gloom on your face,
My eyes are filled with tears!
My golden Bengal,
I love you.
