21st
February is a memorable day in our national history. We observe the day every
years as international Mother Language Day. The day is a national holiday.
On this day, we
pay tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives to established Bangle as a
stage language in undivided Pakistan in 1952.The struggle to achieve our
language rights in known as the Language Movement.
The seed of the
Language Movement was sown on 21 March 1948 when Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the Governor
General of Pakistan, declared in a public meeting in Dhaka that Urdu would be
the only state language of Pakistan. The declaration raised a storm of protest in the eastern
part of the country. The protest c. continued non-stop, gathering momentum day
by day. It turned into a movement and reached its climax in 1952.The government
outlawed all sorts of public meeting rallies to stop it.
The students of Dhaka University defied the law and brought
out a peaceful protest procession on 21 February 1952. When the procession reached
near Dhaka Medical Collage, the public opened fire on the students, killing
Salam, Rafiq, Barkat, Safiqur and Jabber. AS a result, there were mass protests
all over the country and government had to declare Bangla as a state language.
This kindled the sparks of independence movement of Bangladesh.
