Traditional Bangladeshi Sports festival held at Betaga, Bagerhat on 23-25th October 2018

A traditional Bangladeshi sports Festival held at Betaga, Bagerhat, Khulna on 23-25th October 2018 with the slogan of “Our Culture is our Pride, Our Sports is our Identity”. Sports for Hope and Independence (SHI) believe that person without the knowledge of their own history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

  

 

Traditional games chiefly played in rural areas of Bangladesh and passed along from one generation to another. Such games are played for physical exercise and entertainment, at times in a competitive environment.

They say change is the only constant in life, and if you have grown up in Bangladesh, you have lived long enough to witness change on an unprecedented level.  Games like “Shat-chara,” “Tilo-Express,” “Dariabanda,” “Rumal Chor” and “ Ha Du Du ”, kept people engaged, entertained us and taught some of the most invaluable lessons in socialising firsthand. It is indeed sad but true that those games we once loved to play have met their end as we grew up.  Sports for Hope and Independence believe that This is the duty of all the Bangladeshi adults to introduce these traditional sports to the youth and children.
