Pohela Boishakh History
The history of celebrating Pahela Baishakh is very old. Dividing a year into 12 months is an old practice according to the Hindu calendar. But during Mughal rule in India, Emperor Akbar declared that they will count Bangla year combining the Arabic calendar from March 10 or March 11 in 1584. Though originally called a Fosholi Shon (crop year), it later gained currency as the Bangla year.
In that Akbar’s time, The economy of undivided Bengal depends on agriculture. So Farmers used to buy their necessary things from the shopkeepers on credit. The shopkeepers used to note down the due on ledger books. Since all the dues were cleared up toward the end of the year, shopkeepers tracked the sales on credit in a ledger book known as the “halkhata.” When the farmer cleared all the due after taking their harvest from the field, the shopkeepers used to deliver sweets to them on these days.

নিশি অবসান প্রায় ওই পুরাতন বর্ষ হয় গত
আমি আজি ধুলি তলে জীর্ণ করিলাম নত
বন্ধু হউ শত্রু হউ যেখানে যে রত
ক্ষমা কর আজকের মত।
পুরাতন বছরের সাথে পুরাতন অপরাধ যত
হরদম হই হই অই এলো ওই কলার পাতায় ইলিশ পান্তা
ঈশান কোনে মেঘের বার্তা ।
শুভ নববর্ষ
পাখির ডানায় লিখে দিলাম নববর্ষের নাম
বন্ধু তোমরা উড়ে দেখো পাবে সিখের গ্রান
পুরনো সব কষ্ট করে ফেল নষ্ট
নতুন বছরে নতুন যাত্রা হয় যেন সুখ আর বিনোদন ময় ।
এই কামনায় তোমাদের জানাই ।
শুভ নববর্ষ
