OUR JOURNEY

There is a wonderful land,  far in the east. It has been a wealthy, fertile ground with streams of life, manifested through distinctive shades of literature, arts, music, cuisine, festival, attire, sports, and more. It is difficult, if not impossible, to quantify this richness. And we proudly call it our emotional identity. Back in the northwestern part of the United States, it has its own uniqueness and diversity. Can’t we contrast this with the glimpses of our heritage,  from that far away land?  “দিবে আর নিবে মিলাবে মিলিবে”  in the spirit of all-embracing universality.  Or could it be a little outlandish?  Who cares,  we chose to name this feeling of togetherness as ভিনদেশি (Bhindeshi).

Registered in 2016, Bhindeshi is a Washington State Registered organization of people of South Asian origin based in the greater Bothell area of Washington, USA. Bhindeshi intends to serve as a socio-cultural platform to promote the rich cultural heritage of  Bengal, India among the members of the community. It seeks to foster family and multicultural values to the younger generation, encourage and support local talent, to raise the awareness of global harmony. At the same time, Bhindeshi intends to work closely and support other non-profit organizations within the greater Seattle community.
