Football, cricket, Hockey, Swimming and Rowing, kabaddi, volleyball, Badminton, Basketball, Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis and chess are popular games in the country.
A national sports policy has already been announced by the government for qualitative improvement of games and sports. The aim of the policy is to foster a sporting culture, facilitate nsports practice and create a favourable environment for sports and sportmen. There are now clear signs of resurgence from past stagnation in the sporting arena. Bangladesh can now boast of two chess grandmasters and a place among the cricket Test-playing nations of the world.
Bangladesh has a rich tradition of Art. Specimens of ancient terrocatta and pottery show remarkable artistry. Modern painting was pioneered by artists like Zainul Abedin, Kamrul Hasan, Anwarul Haque, Shafiuddin Ahmed, Shafiqul Amin, Rashid Chowdhury and SMSultan. Zainul Abedin earned worldwide fame through his stunning sketches of the Bengal Farmine in 1943.
