The document summarizes the Language Movement in Bangladesh that started in 1947 when the central government of Pakistan declared Urdu as the sole official language, despite Bengali being the dominant language. This led to widespread protests from intellectuals and the people of East Pakistan. On February 21, 1952, police opened fire on protesting students at Dhaka University, killing several students who had been advocating for the recognition of Bengali. This event galvanized the movement and February 21st is now commemorated annually in Bangladesh in remembrance of those who died. The movement highlighted cultural and linguistic grievances in East Pakistan and helped lay the foundation for the country's liberation war in 1971.

International mother language day
International Mother Language Day is observed annually on February 21st to promote linguistic and cultural diversity. It was established by UNESCO in 2000 to commemorate the Bengali Language Movement in Bangladesh. In 1952, Bangladeshi students protested against the Pakistani government's policy of making Urdu the sole official language, despite Bengali being the native language of most residents. When police opened fire on protesters, several students were killed. Their sacrifice led to the eventual recognition of Bengali as an official language of Pakistan and helped spark the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.

Mother tongue is important for cultural identity. In 1947, Pakistan consisted of two parts that spoke different languages - Urdu in West Pakistan and Bengali in East Pakistan. In 1952, the government of Pakistan tried to make Urdu the sole national language, sparking protests in East Pakistan. When police fired on demonstrations, several protesters were killed, sparking the Language Movement to protect the status of Bengali. Today, Bangladesh observes International Mother Language Day in remembrance of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the right to use their mother tongue of Bengali.
