	Culture of Bangladesh
		The best known literature of Bangladesh is the work of the great Bengali poets Rabindranath Tagore and Nasrul Islam, though these giants have been overshadowed recently by the furore over the writings of Taslima Nasreen who has received death threats from Muslim fundamentalists for her outspoken critiques of Islam's oppression of women.
		Hinduism in Bangladesh lacks the pomp and awe of the Indian version, but consequently Hindu ceremonies are rarely conducted in the depths of temples to which access is restricted.
		It's worth noting that the Bangladeshi pride in ancestry is balanced by the Islamic slant of the country's intellectual life which tends to deny the achievements of the preceding Hindu and Buddhist cultures.

		Bangladesh, as seen today, is a new nation but our history is very old.
		Bangladesh is also unique because it has survived as a Muslim society, some times during difficult periods, surrounded by other faiths, for the last thousand years, with a history of Islamic tradition of tolerance, patience and diversity.
		The security of our national independence is of utmost importance, but the best defense against all propaganda against Bangladesh is not to silence the critics but to review our actions sincerely and investigate acts against the weaker sections of the society be it religious or ethnic minority, the poor, old, children, women or the handicapped.
