2023 will mark the fifth year of the Bengal Pride Awards, dedicated to celebrating the achievements of the Bengali ethnic community from India and Bangladesh. The community has been, for decades, contributing to growth not just across South Asia but right across the globe. This is nowhere more evident than in United Kingdom, where the nearly half a million Bengalis live, thrive and excel in every sphere of life.

Draw up a list of the greatest academics and professors in UK, the greatest doctors, the greatest artistes across the nation or some of the most successful media personalities, chances are your list will include several names from the Bengali community.
