On February 21, 1952, the movement for mother tongue Bengali began in Bangladesh.

Dhaka, phebuari 20, 2020, Thursday

Bangladesh is the only case where a country is born on the map of the world to honor its native tongue. Bangladesh was known as East Pakistan when India and Pakistan were partitioned in the 5th. Although the majority of Muslims in Bangladesh were culturally colored Bengali. However, there was widespread opposition by Pakistani rulers trying to impose Urdu language on Bengali Muslims of East Pakistan.

The purpose of this cultural and political movement was to incorporate education and administration into the Bengali language, giving the status of an official language. In addition, the agitators demanded that Bengali language be written in Bengali script. A large number of youths, young women and elders joined the movement.

Shaheed Minar is close to Dhaka Medical College in memory of the martyrs martyred in this language movement. Salam, Barkat and Rafiq Jabbar were killed on February 7 at this place with bullets for their native Bengali Bengali. Political revolutions and power changes in the world have been going on for centuries, but the story of sacrificing for the love of one's native tongue is unique. That is why the Day of the World Languages ​​has also been excluded from the language movement in Bangladesh.

There were several atrocities against people of East Pakistan. An attempt was made to quell the feeling and demand for their mother tongue. Finally, this language movement became the cause of creation of Bangladesh in 1. The people of Bangladesh gave the example that love for mother tongue is always higher than religion, caste. Not only is the holiday held in Bangladesh on February 7, Shahid Saputo's memorial language for the protection of the mother tongue becomes special for the agitators.
