Signification
The emotional connection between family members.
Contexte culturel
The 'Joint Family' system (যৌথ পরিবার) is the traditional cradle of this phrase. Even in nuclear families, the sense of 'Bandhan' extends to cousins and distant relatives. For Bengalis living in the UK, USA, or Middle East, 'পারিবারিক বন্ধন' is often maintained through long WhatsApp calls and sending money home (remittance), which is seen as a fulfillment of the bond. In villages, 'Bandhan' is often tied to land ownership. Breaking the bond often means dividing the ancestral land, which is seen as a tragedy. Younger generations in cities like Dhaka or Kolkata are redefining 'Bandhan' to include 'chosen family' or close friends, though the term remains primarily for kin.
Use with 'অটুট'

Don't use for friends
Unless you are very close and consider them family, stick to 'বন্ধৃত্ব' (friendship) for friends.
