21st February- The Benagli Language Movement     (Bangla Bhasha Andolon)



v  21st February it’s a day of devotion and sacrifice for the Bengalis all over the world.

v  With their long and rich literary tradition, have striven since ages to amalgamate a culturally and geographically diverse region.

v  In 1952, when Bangladesh used to be East Pakistan, this strong sense of identity led to the Bengali Language Movement in which several people braved bullets and died martyrs on February 21.

v  The Language Movement (Bangla Bhasha Andolon) was a political and cultural movement in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) that centered around the recognition of Bengali language as the official language of Pakistan and a broader reaffirmation of the ethno-national consciousness of the Bengali people.

v  Discontent against Pakistan’s “Urdu-only” policy had spilled into mass agitation since 1948 and reached its climactic strength after police fired upon and killed student demonstrators on February 21, 1952.
