INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY

Mother language means first language. People express their feelings, thought, etc. through mother language. The 21st February is the International Mother Language Day.

It is a red-letter day in our national history. During the Pakistani-rule, the Pakistani rulers exploited ,us in. the most inhuman way. They adopted all kinds of evil ways-to exploit us. To obstruct the way of our education and prosperity, they wanted to take away our mother tongue, the language of thousand years.

So, they declared Urdu as the only state language of Pakistan. The intellectuals and the educated people of this country could realize their evil purpose. They burst into protest against this unjust imposition, People all over the country brought out procession.

When the movement of the enraged students and teachers of Dhaka University, and people of all classes got intense, the Pakistani government imposed section 144 in Dhaka city. But the students of Dhaka University ignored it and brought out a procession in road. Consequently they had a clash with the police.

Police fired into the crowd of students and killed. Salam, Jabbar, Barkat and many others. Thus they laid down their lives for the sake of the mother tongue. This day is, therefore, observed as a token of respect to the martyrs.

In order to show due respect and honour to the language martyrs, the day has been, declared as the International, Mother Language Day by UNESCO. The recognition has added a new era in our national history. It is our greatest achievement.

A proposal has been passed unanimously in the general .assembly of UNESCO though some countries pointed out that the incident of 21st February is related to the Bangalees only.

However, the recognition of the day as the International Mother Language Day by UNESCO has upheld the prestige of the Bangalees all over the world. The objective of observing the day is to preserve the mother languages, of different countries of the world.
