🎲 Traditional Gambling Games in Bangladesh: A Cultural Perspective
Gambling has been part of Bangladeshi tradition for generations. While modern online platforms are gaining popularity, traditional games like dice (pasa), cowrie shell (kanchi), and card games still hold cultural value across rural regions. These games are often played during festivals, village gatherings, and social events, connecting people through shared heritage and friendly competition.
Unlike online casinos, these traditional games have a strong social dimension, often involving storytelling, jokes, and local customs.

This is a fascinating topic! I study anthropology, and traditional games like these are valuable for understanding social dynamics in rural Bangladesh. They’re more than games — they reflect trust, strategy, and communal values. Glad to see them getting attention.
