The emergence of Bangladesh as a sovereign nation in 1971 is an important landmark in south Asia. Known as the largest delta in the world and endowed with natural resources and lush alluvial plains the country has faced many challenges and passed through several trials and tribulations in nation building. Scholars like andrain and Apter have observed a phenomenon called Cultural Politics with a memory, historical dreams, several nightmares and grievances at its back. This activation of culture in various manifestations of nation building is a historical experience. Bangladesh is a bridge between South Asia and South East Asia. The post –1971 Bangladesh is basically a search for an identity through mobilization. With a ‘particular cultural marker’ it also signifies an assertion of an ethno-nationalism. In this book The Bangladesh Dichotomy and Politicisation of culture an attempt has been made to capture such happenings, efforts, moods, agonies and joys, high points and low points in the case of Bangladesh experiment.
