Aspects of Baganda that were never affected by the 1900 Buganda agreement

While the 1900 Buganda Agreement brought significant changes to Buganda, there were some aspects of Baganda society that remained largely unaffected:

1. Traditional Cultural Practices:

• Religious Beliefs: Despite the spread of Christianity, many Baganda continued to practice their traditional religions and rituals.
• Cultural Festivals: Traditional festivals and ceremonies continued to be celebrated, preserving aspects of Baganda culture.

2. Family Structures:

• Extended Family System: The extended family system, which is a key feature of Baganda society, remained intact.
• Social Roles: Traditional social roles and responsibilities within families were largely maintained.

3. Local Languages:

• Luganda: The use of the Luganda language persisted in daily communication, education, and cultural practices.
• Oral Traditions: Oral traditions, including storytelling and proverbs, continued to be an important part of Baganda culture.

4. Art and Craftsmanship:

• Craftsmanship: Traditional crafts such as weaving, pottery, and wood carving continued to thrive.
• Music and Dance: Traditional music and dance forms remained popular and were performed during cultural events and ceremonies.

5. Agricultural Practices:

• Subsistence Farming: Many Baganda continued to engage in subsistence farming, growing crops for their own consumption.
• Traditional Farming Techniques: Traditional farming techniques and knowledge were passed down through generations.

These aspects of Baganda society were resilient and continued to thrive despite the changes brought about by the 1900 Buganda Agreement. They played a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity and heritage of the Baganda people.
