World Mother Language Day
Mother tongue is a divine gift. From the holy Quran, we come to know that the most merciful Almighty Allah has bestowed a mother tongue upon each and every caste, creed, and color. Mother's tongue is so important that the people of a country express their ideas, thoughts, feelings emotions, etc. clearly through the mother tongue. But it is an irony of fate that the then rulers of Pakistan tried to impose Urdu as mother tongue upon us instead of Bangla. But the people of our country raised their voice against this unlawful decision. Some of the heroic sons came forward and sacrificed their glorious life for the cause of our mother tongue on the 21st of February, 1952. Since then this day is called the Shaheed Dubash. Every year we remember this day with solemnity and pay, them profound tribute. Now it is a great pleasure for us that UNESCO has announced February 21 as the International Mother Language Day to be observed globally in recognition of the sacrifices of the martyrs for establishing the rightful place of Bangla. It is a great tribute and glowing homage paid by the international community to the Language martyrs of Bangladesh. The sacrifices of all the martyrs for championing the cause of their mother tongue have received now a glorious recognition by the people of the world.
