People and Culture

Warm and welcoming is a way to describe the people of Bangladesh.  Bangla culture is wonderfully welcoming, and if you enjoy mixing with the locals this is the place to do it.  However, there may be times when, especially as a tourist, you feel ‘stared at’ but its never an unfriendly thing, more just curiosity.

The language, ‘Bangla’, sometimes called Bengali is the official language of Bangladesh.

Of the population 83% are Muslim, 16% Hindu and the remaining 1% divided between Buddhism and Christianity.  Bengali Muslims are the predominant ethnoreligious group, with a population of around 146 million.

Furthermore, ninety-eight percent of the population are Bengali’s.  Minorities include the Bihari’s - of which there are around 250,000, and other tribes numbering around 1 million, which accounts for just 1% of the population.  The tribal people mostly live in the Chittagong Hills and in regions of Sylhet, Rajshahi and Mymensingh. Three quarters of all tribal people live in rural areas cultivating the land.  Most tribal people are of Sino Tibetan descent and have distinctive mongoloid features.  They differ from the mainstream population in almost every way, including their social hierarchy, marriage, birth and death customs and even the food they eat. The four largest tribes are the Chakmas, Marmas, Tipperas and Mros.

Also, the majority of the population of Bangladesh, both men and women, derive an income from agriculture, with 3/4 of the entire female workforce in this area.  The manufacturing industry also employs a great many people, mostly women, in the production of ready made clothing and leather footwear.  58% of females participate in the workforce and 82% of males.
