Founded in 2022, the purpose of Bangla Bhasha is to raise awareness of Bangla(Bengali) culture and language at the University of Rochester, as Bangla is one of the most spoken languages in the world. We feel that our community is underrepresented on campus, so we would like to change that by raising awareness and uniting the Bangla speaking community. Our events will be focused on promoting the Bangla language and culture.
Since language is strongly emphasized in the Bangla speaking community, one of our goals is to also help people appreciate their mother tongue no matter where they are from with events like International Mother Language Day.
