Bangladesh Victory Day Event Tonight at PS 230

The 40th anniversary of Victory Day, when East Pakistan seceded from West Pakistan after nine months of war and became independent as Bangladesh, is being celebrated tonight at PS 230. Neighbor and frequent commenter Abu Khaliquzzaman has put together the event with the organization Sandip Association of North America, and he invites everyone in the area to join in the celebration.

The event is a great opportunity for people to better "understand our 3,500-year-old rich culture and 1,400-plus years of the Bengali calender," Abu told us in an email.

Starting at 6pm, the program will include a cultural show featuring tasty samples of Bangladeshi cuisine, and several area politicians are expected to attend.
