Essay - Rural Culture of Bahrain

Dr. Manoranjan Das

       Bahrain's rural culture is widely intertwined with its Islamic origin and history as part of the Eastern Arabian region, with powerful family system and traditional crafts still prevalent. While utilization and cosmopolitanism are appeared particularly in cities, rural areas retain a more systematic way of life, with a brightful act on family, cast and creed , and Islamic customs.

       Family endows a central role, with powerful emphasis on loyalty and widened  family living usages. Community ties are also significantful  and many rural areas  have distinct old systems and customs. 

         Historically, village Bahrainis have been attached  in agriculture (particularly palm tree farming) and fishing. While these may be less authentic today, traditional crafts like pottery (especially in A'ali) and basket weaving (in Karbābād) are still habituated and valued.A poem,

'You have a doctrine of love, O, Bahrain,

by referring the domes

     of absoluteness.

With the widen phenomenal inherence

You forward

that is sujectified with

fundamentalism.

O, Bahrain, you opt with

 your nationalism and 

          distnctism.'1

            Bahrain is a Muslim state, and Islamic values and traditions iterated to  daily life. This attaches with modest dress, particularly in religious zones  and more systematic areas. 

            Villages are shown  by substantial houses, sometimes  built of stone or brick or  concrete. While some temporary homes of fishermen and the poor may use traditional barasti (palm branches), there is less authentic settlement in the south and on lower islands. 

         Modernity and rich havingness are present, basically in cities like Manama, but village areas retain a more traditional character. 

            Respect for elders, hospitality (including offering tea or coffee), and using the right hand to pass or receive items are significantful social systems. 

         Handicrafts like pottery, basket weaving, and gold working are still habituated and sold in villages and markets.

         Bahrain has a welknown support, and most villages practice specialized traditions; ʿĀlī, for example, is well known for its structure. Thus, a rhyme,

' You've well culture

O, Bahrain;

That's authentic

and that's known.

Your originality

is sweet to all,

That's spirited

and that's real.

You are brightened

to your base,

That's to run and run

 well , at a race.'2

            A journey through  systematic Bahrain is a one-of-a-kind state  with a long and decorable history. Despite modernisation and cosmopolitanism, Arabic people are systematized to their own.

            Villages consist, for the most part, of original flat-roofed houses made of stone or brick or concrete. Some of the occasional settlements of fishermen and poor people are living in kachha houses like nonstable houses.

         Above all, the culture of Bahrain is part of the past region of Eastern Arabia. Thus, Bahrain's culture is similar to that of 

its Arab neighbours in the Persian Gulf and their origin is attached with them.
