Bengali diaspora

The Bengali diaspora refers to people of Bengali heritage living outside their native region, primarily Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. This emigration began historically for trade, work, education, and political reasons, and has increased over time due to economic opportunities and conflicts. Today, the diaspora is widespread, with significant communities in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Canada. They maintain cultural traditions, language, and customs while integrating into diverse societies. The Bengali diaspora plays an important role in connecting global communities and contributing economically and culturally to their adopted countries.
