Social and Historical Context of the Folk Games in North Bengal
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The natural diversity of North Bengal has been perfected by the combination of rivers, mountains, and valleys. This natural abundance has been combined with cultural abundance to give birth to a new form. We see this rich natural beauty reflected regionally through traditional folk games. On the one hand, this game reflects society and acts as a mirror of culture, values, and traditions. Regional unique traditions are also expressed through games. Since these games are limited to a geographical area, they are spread and practiced within a homogeneous ethnic community. They also promote cultural integrity and a sense of unity among the residents. However, these important games are almost extinct today due to globalization and its resulting rat race of civilization.
