Hay Hossain

Hay Hossain

After the partition of India in 1947, Indian Muslims from Bihar (Bihari) joined the Muslim-majority East Pakistan (Now Bangladesh). Along with Muslim holydays, Holy Asura is one of the main celebrations which enables the Urdu speaking people (Bihari) to build solidarity among the residents of different camps. Hay Hossain tries to cover Holy Asura celebration in the camps of Bihari in Mymensingh and their religious beliefs, traditions, as well as the social conflicts that have arisen as a result of their cultural& political differences.
