"On behalf of President Obama, I convey my warm greetings to all Bengali-speaking people around the world as you celebrate Poila Baisakh. The American people wish you all happiness and prosperity in the New Year," Kerry said in a statement.
"The vibrant Bengali-American diaspora will join the global Bengali community in gathering with family and friends to celebrate your many accomplishments," he said.
"As the New Year begins, let us all celebrate the rich cultures of West Bengal and Bangladesh in a spirit of optimism and mutual appreciation. 'Shubho Nobo Borsho!..," Kerry said in his greeting message. 'Poila Baisakh' - the first day of the year marks the beginning of the new accounting year for Bengali traders, who worshipped 'Lakshmi' and 'Ganesh' after taking holy dip in rivers including the Ganga.
