Today is 21st February, The International Mother Language Day! Wish You All a Very Happy Mother Language Day!
Background: During the Pakistan period, West Pakistan having all the power declares Urdu as the only National Language on both west (the present day Pakistan) and east (present Bangladesh) Pakistan forcing it to the easter ppl whose mother toungue is only Bangla (Bengali). so the general ppl specially the students took a stand against this so tht Bengali also gets the place tht it deserved. But the Government dint pay any heed n kept notorious oppression on PPl of Bangladesh but cant diminish their demand. as a result the government declared curfew so tht any meeting, procession cant take place. but on 21 February 1952 the students who were fighting for their right, fighting for any person's birth right to speak in his mother tongue rightfully broke all the barriers n went on with their demand, but the police opened fire on them viciously. they devoted their precious life for the noble cause. at the end the pakistani government had to give Bangla her deserving place.
No country n No nation in the world ever had to pay such a high price to speak in thier tongue. so, in 1999 in UNESCO's General Conference this Day has been proclaimed as International Mother Language Day to show the respect to the martyres of 1952!
Amar Ekushe Amlan Thakuk!
