💨 Abstract

Bangladesh has changed the name and content of its UNESCO-recognized traditional procession for the Bengali New Year, known as "Mangal Shobhajatra," to "Barshavaran Ananda Shobhajatra." The change was due to demands from Islamic political parties and religious organizations who claimed the previous name and content were too closely associated with Hindu culture.
