শারীর শিক্ষায় রায়বেঁশে রণ নৃত্যের উপযোগিতা এবং এর বর্তমান প্রাসঙ্গিকতা/ Usefulness of Raibenshe Dance in Physical Education and its Current Relevance

Abstract

It is noteworthy that Bengalis continue to sustain and transmit their cultural heritage across generations. In this context, the preservation of folk traditions assumes particular significance as a cultural responsibility. The reconstruction and rearticulation of Bengali national life may be meaningfully advanced through the systematic incorporation of regional practices such as the Raibenshe dance tradition into contemporary physical education frameworks. As a form of martial folk expression, Raibenshe embodies a synthesis of physical discipline, rhythm, and collective coordination, which can contribute to both the physiological development and psychological conditioning of students. Furthermore, its pedagogical integration may facilitate the cultivation of social awareness and community-oriented values. Nevertheless, the question of its relevance and reception within the dynamics of the modern urban milieu remains a critical area for further inquiry.
