Mother tongue is a divine gift. From the holy Quran we come to know that the most merciful almighty has bestowed a mother tongue upon each and every caste,creed and colour.
Mother tongue is, so important that the people of a country express their ideas,thoughts, feelings, emotions etc. clearly through mother tongue. But it is an irony of fate that the then rules of Pakistan tried to imposed 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 February,1952. Since then this day is called shaheed dibash. Every year we remember this day with solemnity and pay them profound tribute. Now it is a great pleasure for us that. The UNESCO has announced February 21st as the mother language day to be observed globally in recognition of the sacrifice of the martyres for establishment the right full place of bangla.
That was our mother language days history.
Today is international mother language day. We have much respect and cordial love for the martyrs. Thank you for reading this post.
