Boson are typically short and witty Rohingya sayings, expressing commonly held ideas, attitudes and beliefs. In a new video series from the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre, Rohingya community members playfully explain a selection of boson, an important part of Rohingya oral traditions and a vital intangible cultural asset.
Just as motka, a large clay pot, holds water for passers-by in the streets of old Arakan, the folk wisdom of Rohingya proverbs is collected from our Bosonor Shunar Motka, or The Gold Jar of Proverbs series.
Bosonor Shunar Motka, Part 2 is about the nature of truth.
