World Mother Language Day Or, International Paragraph Mother Language Day
Mother tongue is a divine gilt. 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 color. Mother
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 iròny of fate that the then rulers of Pakistan tried to
impose Urdu .as our mother tongue upon us instead of Bangla. But the people of our country raised
their voices 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. 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 glorious recognition
by the people of the world.
