Theater in Bangldeshi Culture

Theater is the culture in our country.Today everybody can recall the role played by the students of the University of Dhaka during the mid-sixties in the movement against political and economic deprivation prevalent in the then East Pakistan. Due to the tremendous political surge of those days when the activities in the cultural field was at a stage of utter neglect, the teachers-students center came into being, almost unnoticed. Basically this center was created with the purpose of a shake-up in the cultural life of the Dhaka University. Under the auspices of this Theater student center, A drama was staged with the active help and co-operation of drama personalities of that time. The drama was titled kritadasher Hashi (A stave’s laugh) written by the famous literature and educationist Showkat Osman.
