The family drama series “Nonsense” is set to premiere this Pahela Baishakh on the OTT platform Bongo. Directed by Rakesh Basu, the six-episode series features Zakia Bari Mamo, Intekhab Dinar, Aisha Khan, Naziba Basher, Mili Basher, Shahidul Alam Sachchu, and Tony Michael Gomes, among others.
Pahela Baishakh, celebrated on April 14, marks the Bengali New Year, rooted in Emperor Akbar’s reform aligning taxes with harvests. Today, it’s a vibrant cultural festival filled with music, processions, traditional food, and colourful attire.
"The decision was not made under any external pressure"
Farooki declared that this year’s New Year celebrations would bring together not just Bengali citizens, but also 27 ethnic communities from across the country. “Diversity is our most powerful and beautiful asset,” he said.
Home Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury yesterday said they have not received any security threats centring Pahela Baishakh celebrations.
Although the Bengali calendar has been in use for centuries, the tradition of celebrating Pahela Baishakh as a public festival is a relatively modern development.
An inclusive Mangal Shobhajatra will be held on Pahela Baishakh this year, featuring participation from various ethnic communities, including Chakma, Marma, Santal, and Garo.
