The region's film industry is notable for the history of art films in South Asia, including the works of Academy Award winning director Satyajit Ray and the Cannes Film Festival award-winning director Tareque Masud. In legal matters, Bangladesh follows a mixed system, predominantly of common law inherited from its colonial past as well as some Islamic laws that mostly concern personal status issues. Politically, women have been comparatively prominent in the sphere: since 1988 the Prime Ministers elected were women, and the current Prime Minister, Speaker of Parliament, and the Leader of the Opposition are women as well as of 2020. To ensure the well-being and progress of women, the government has implemented and revised several laws, establishing institutions and formulating targeted policies. These efforts aim to safeguard women's interests and create an environment conducive to their empowerment. By introducing gender-sensitive policies and programs, the government strives to enable women to play a vital role in society and actively contribute to development as empowered agents.

Aleya stated she had been taken by the Pakistani army when she was thirteen, and was gang raped repeatedly for seven months. She states she was tortured and was five months pregnant when she returned to her home. Her sister, Laily, says she was pregnant when she was taken by the armed forces, and lost the child. Later she fought alongside the Mukti Bahini. Both say that the state has failed the birangona, and that all they received was "humiliation, insults, hatred, and ostracism." [102] Pakistani government reaction [ edit ] Makeup artist Tasnim Nahar reminisced on her mother’s organic DIY beauty. “Though my mum had access to toothpaste, she was determined to make her own. She made it from coconut shells and teabags which somehow became activated charcoal.” Fahima Jilani, the founder of Mosa Mosa, a British Bangladeshi food platform, remembered the use of sugar waxing and how flower, egg and lemon somehow always made it into our hair masks. We will come to the men later. First, let’s look at how Bihari women’s resentment stemmed from their anxiety about the possible vulnerability of their migrant husbands to Bengali women. In many ways, cultural expressions of the Bihar-Bengal encounter can be seen in multiple strands of historical evolution, particularly those emanating from the more recent colonial past. It’s in such a context that the anxieties expressed by Bihari women through folk music can be better understood in their actual as well as metaphorical shades. That would be a crucial exercise in historical understanding. The more immediate concern, however, is the use of regional stereotypes in the Bhojpuri pop for creating risqué themes and titillation. Interestingly, at the same time, the emergent press in Bihar played a significant role in the campaign demanding the separation of Bihar from the Bengal Presidency, as the historian Sumita Singh noted in Role of the Press in the Creation of Separate Bihar.

This doesn’t mean that a sizable Bengali community was not present in Bihar before this influx. It was for obvious reasons of geographical contiguity and economic imperatives. In fact, in the nineteenth century, the Bengali community in Bihar was so conscious of its distinct interests that a periodical, Bihar Herald, was launched in 1872 to articulate its interests.
