We are a community-based organization focused on helping make the world around us a little better, and a happier place for over 4 years now. Especially, for our children and next generation of British Bengali disapora. Our core values are "friendship, commitment, tolerance, rootedness, mutual respect, and international peace. We are as much proud of our eastern heritage as we are of our Britain. How close we are is more important to us than how big we are as a group and our name "Aantarik" signifies that. We are all about celebrating and propagating the richness of Bengali and Indian culture within the wider context of humanity and globality. We are motivated by 'giving' and 'living'. As our Nobel Laureate poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore said: "we live in this world when we love it" - we stay ever inspired. Namaskar!
Aantarik- Bengali Association of Bromley was created in 2015, initially with a group of my friends who live in and around Bromley. As founding member of the group my vision was to plan get togethers, addas, and events in order to enjoy golpo adda and khabar dabaar but more importantly to introduce and pass down the rich heritage of Bengali culture to our next generation. It has grown from strength to strength, several key events including Saraswati Pujo, Bijoya Sammilani, Dol Khela etc. have been organised over the years. Membership has been growing as are deep friendships and bonds. - Minu Mukherjee on behalf of Aantarik- Bengali Association of Bromley
