Bangladesh is an agricultural and developing country. Meanwhile india is multicultural and developed country. Globalization makes it easier to explore different cultures. It gives Bangladesh an opportunity to know about western culture. Now days people in our country used to follow and adopt western culture. They are very busy in learning and practicing indian culture. Day by day our own culture has been demolished. Indian TV such as star plus, sony , zee bangla is the main way through which the Indian culture is affecting Bangladeshi people and culture. It creates huge impact on our culture. We have our own culture and customs, but our TV channel are not making good quality programmes. This induces us to watch Indian dramas. People in our country have started following Indian culture. They are trying best to copy indian lifestyle, dress, behaviour, movies and music. Even if they follow Indian festivals . Specially in Eid and puja Bangladeshi markets get encircled by the Indian dresses and people were really passionate to buy them. Bangladeshi girls and women are the buyers of those dresses and those dresses are designed according to the outfits of the actresses from the Indian programms early and late, they find the dresses are pretty engaged. Some markers buy those dresses from India and sell them in Bangladesh, others just designed the dresses according to the models. Bangladeshi core designers face the problem with professionalism, but it is a loss for them. It is discouraging to continue working on thing which has no current market. The language conveys culture but Bangladeshi people are learning and practicing Hindi. They are involving themselves watching Hindi shows which have a great influence in our life. Bangladesh has a great history regarding its mother tongue; Bangla . Many people sacrificed their lives for it . But nowadays Bangladeshi people give priority Hindi over Bangla. Once upon a time, Bangladesh was well acquainted with making good movies. Flims like Jibon Theke Neya, Abar tora manush Ho , Aguner poroshmoni and stop genocide were way ahead of Indian Bangla movies. As time passes by , Bangladeshi people now prefer Hindi and Indian Bangla movies. As a result Bangladeshi producers and directors are trying to make movies relating to Hindi, Tamil, Indian Bangla concepts. Because of low budget and unskilled actors they can not succeed. People have tendency to choose the better option. Due to this, our industry is facing loss and in danger zone. They are losing their individuality and identity. People in our country prefer Hindi music at the wedding day.When we have many sweet bengali song. Young woman and children are influenced in Indian traditions, customs and music are getting lost. They can not realize that they are keeping aside their own culture and identity. Our culture is our own identity. Infact we have better taste and good things to offer. We should love our own culture.
