The International Mother Language Day

The role of language in human life is very great. Everyone in the world speaks & loves his own mother language. We are Bangladeshi speak in Bengali & Bengali is our mother language. To establish this language as the state language during the Pakistani regime there was a language movement. In this movement many Bengalis including some students like Asad, Salam, Barkat etc. sacrificed their lives on the 21st February in 1952 & as such the 21st February is regarded as a red-letter day in our national life.
Every year we the Bangladeshis remember this day with due respect. The day in declared as the govt. holiday & on this day the National flag remains half-mast. Now this day is very significant, because this day has been recognized by the UNESCO as the International Mother Language Day in its 30th General Assembly Meeting held in 1999 & we the Bangladeshis celebrated this recognition nationality on the 8th December of the year 1999. No nation of the world sheds their bloods to establish their language but we shed it. However, everybody should take care about his mother language in all aspects of his national life.
