International Mother Language


International Mother Language Day

International Mother Language Day has been originated from the Mother Language Day of Bangladesh. This is one of the greatest achievements for Bangladeshis. The day 21st February is chosen because on this day many students including University of Dhaka have sacrificed their lives for protecting their Bengali Language. This is the one country in the world that has saved their language by bleeding.
Without their sacrifices till today we may not be freed or may not be speak in our own language. The World has got a Day to remember.

Bangladeshis History

The war placed between East and West Pakistan. The questions of land reforms, state language, provincial autonomy and many other consequential questions had been straining the relations between the two wings of Pakistan.

 The military forces of West Pakistan destroyed everything on their way. They killed so many people targeted particularly the Hindu concentrated area of Bangladesh. The genocide that was perpetrated on the unarmed people was flashed in the world press.
