“Languages are among the most precious and the same time the most fragile, treasure of mankind”
The first thing the baby sees immediately after the birth is mother, the first words he will listen is from mother and the first word he speaks is a sweet word “mother”. That’s why it is called as mother language. For the growth of the child mother’s milk is very important like that only for the development of the child mother language is very important. That’s why for the sake of mother language many protests came and many sacrificed their lives for that.
After India’s independence in 1947 during the division of India and Pakistan the western part of Bengal went into the eastern part of Pakistan and recognised as East Pakistan. During that period there are many conflicts between this region and Pakistan because of financial matters, Culture and Language. Later Urdu was recognised as an official language of Pakistan, the people in the East Pakistan who will speak Bengali protested this decision. The government had chosen the violent path to demolish it. In this four students of Dhaka University died on February 21, 1952 because of this the revolution became more serious. In February 26, 1956 the Pakistan government came down and recognised Bengali as another official language. Subsequently that region was formed as separate country Bangladesh with Bengali as their official language. In remembrance of the four students who sacrificed their lives for their mother language UNESCO announced February 21st as International Mother Language Day and it was being celebrated from 2000.
