soc.culture.bangladesh
Life and culture of Bangladesh.
One of the busiest South Asian culture groups, soc.culture.bangladesh combined literature (Tagore and Nazrul quotation wars), cricket, monsoon and flood news, and the politics of the Awami League vs. BNP era.
Its 1990s archive is dense with first-generation emigrant experience — students in the US and UK writing home in public, in Bangla transliteration and English.
