24 A conversation about Bengaliness – English
Photo by Harald Keller
How is being Bengali experienced and Bengali identity understood? Which role do art, poetry and dance play when growing up in this context? Which rituals and festivities are part and parcel of such a life? What was Bengals role in India’s struggle for independence? And how does one deal with the expectation to constantly be a “topper” and its absence in a new context? A conversation with Banhi shika Ghosh.
Big thanks to everybody who is listening. As always I am happy to receive feedback and input best in the form of voice messages or emails.
I’ve created this Episode together with Banhi shika Gosh. It can be played in English with the original quotes or in German with a translation spoken by Angela Hofstetter.
