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.
