Contexte culturel
In Bangladesh, 'prochur taka' is often associated with 'Remittance' (probasher taka). Families of migrant workers are often described as having 'prochur taka' due to foreign earnings. In Kolkata, the phrase might be used with a bit more sarcasm regarding the 'new rich' (noboborsho) culture, contrasting it with the 'old money' (bonedi) families. A 'Big Fat Bengali Wedding' is the ultimate display of 'prochur taka'. From gold jewelry to lavish feasts, it's where the phrase is most commonly heard. In villages, 'prochur taka' is often measured by the amount of land (jami) one owns, rather than just cash in hand.
