About Us

The Bengali Association of Students at Harvard (BASHA) is a cultural organization concerned with promoting the unique aspects of Bengali culture and fostering community among students with roots in Bangladesh, West Bengal, and the diaspora, as well as others with interest in the region’s rich history and traditions. Through our various social, cultural, and academic programming, we seek to provide members of the Harvard community with a home away from home, as that is what basha (বাসা) means.
