Mother tongue is a divine gift. From the holy guran 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 imporant 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 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 sacrified their glorious
life for the casue of our mother tongue on the 21st February, 1952. Since then
this day is called the 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 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.
