Our grant parents and parents never has done this kind of celebration. This is new and very recent phenomena in Bangladesh. If I have to guess then it can not older than 20 years. Although I understand your parents has been celebrating this from the beginning, in west Bengal though.
Tracing back the history of Bengali New Year, the year was first initiated by the great Mughal emperor, Akbar. Under the Mughals, agricultural taxes were collected according to the Hijri calendar. But the Hijri calendar is a purely lunar calendar and it does not coincide with the harvest season. As a result, farmers were hard-pressed to pay taxes out of season. In order to streamline tax collection, the Mughal Emperor Akbar ordered a reform of the calendar. Accordingly, Fatehullah Shirazi, a renowned scholar and astronomer, formulated the Bengali year on the basis of the Hijri lunar and Hindu solar calendars. The new agricultural year was introduced on 10/11 March 1584, but was dated from Akbar's ascension to the throne in 1556. The New Year subsequently became known as Bônggabdo or Bengali year.
