معنی
Assuring someone that you will do something
زمینه فرهنگی
In Kolkata's 'Bhadralok' culture, breaking a 'pratishruti' is seen as a sign of poor upbringing (oshikkhito). Sincerity in speech is highly valued. In Bangladesh, 'প্রতিশ্রুতি' is a heavy word often used in the context of 'Wada' (the Islamic concept of a promise). It is taken very seriously in business dealings. The novel 'Prothom Protishruti' by Ashapoorna Devi uses the word to symbolize the first step towards social change and women's rights. In villages, a 'pratishruti' is often sealed with a simple handshake or a 'kotha' given in front of elders, which is as binding as a written document.
Use it for sincerity
If you want to show you are 100% serious, use 'প্রতিশ্রুতি' instead of 'কথা'.
Don't use 'Kora'
Never say 'Pratishruti korchi'. It's always 'dicchi' (giving).
