2025 will mark the seventh year of The Bengal’s Pride Awards, which are 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 the United Kingdom, where 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 the UK, the greatest doctors, the greatest artists across the nation or some of the most successful media personalities, chances are your list will include several names from the Bengali community.
Extremely successful restauranteurs, entrepreneurs across sectors and commercial establishments run by Bengalis have for long enriched the diverse tapestry of UK. The community has also been greatly contributing back to this land of opportunity. Leading social workers, not-for-profit and charitable organisations and politicians across party lines hail from this extremely dynamic and diverse community.
As the global Bengali community grows, numerous Bengalis have made significant contributions to every professional area, including healthcare, banking, politics, education, arts among others. Even though Bengalis thrive in a broad range of businesses throughout the world, there is no global platform that recognises all of their efforts and accomplishments. The Bengal’s Pride Awards strive to accomplish just that to honour and recognize Bengalis from all over the world for their worldwide achievements and contributions. Since 2018, The Bengal’s Pride Awards has offered a forum to recognize Bengalis and their efforts, and they hope to develop platforms similar to the Nobel Prize and the Grammy for the Bengalis in the Bengali community.
