In the millennial history of Bengali, the position of folk and handicrafts occupies a place of dignity, the symbol of Bengali identity, the purpose of beautifying and embellishing practical objects with physical labor and aesthetic technique is what we call 'handicraft'. On the other hand, folk art is the crop of collective consciousness. Which is spontaneously created in a simple-simple environment. A major creator is created in the environment. The work of a major creator became universal folk art at the touch of a few others. It is considered as a folk art as it has a folk form in its structure, content, production and construction techniques. And even if it is made according to the orderly formula, there is news of tradition in handicrafts. Even then, the contribution of Bangladeshi handicrafts and craftsmen in the history of creativity as well as commercial, economic and socio-cultural is undeniable. The people and handicrafts of this country have been flowing in their respective streams since time immemorial. People have created it because both aspects of people and handicrafts are needed in human life They use it in their personal life, in their practical life or in their daily life for aesthetic reasons. If you are talking about alpana, murals, then maybe they are not practical. But from the point of view of thinking, from the point of view of love, their usefulness is not less And if we talk about direct use, then crafts are much more effective and necessary in our practical life The folk and handicrafts of Bangladesh are world famous Especially if you talk about muslin or jamdani or shital patti, you will see that it has a special identity. As you may have heard, Shital Pati and Jamdani have recently been recognized by UNESCO as a cultural heritage site. I think when UNESCO gives this recognition, their status increases many times We have many more arts that can fit into UNESCO's cultural heritage.
