International Mother Language Day
International mother language day, popularly known as ‘Shaheed Dibas’ is a red letter day in our history. In 1952, on this day a number of our brave sons laid down their lives for the cause of Bangla language. The UNESCO declared 21st February as the day international Mother Language Day showing respect to the martyrs of our language movement. This declaration has turned a national celebration to an International event. Now the whole world observes the 21st February as International Mother Language Day. Every year on this day, people from all walks of life come to the martyrs monument and offer their clothes. Hundreds of people bare-footed and gather in front of The Shaheed Minar with flowers and garlands. The government, different organizations and institutions arrange programmes to celebrate the day. Newspapers publish special supplements on this day. It is our national holiday. School, college, university and offices remain closed on this day. Our national flag is kept hoisted half most on this day. Actually, the day possesses a great significance for the whole nation as well as the whole world

The role of language in human life is very important. Everybody in the world speaks and loves his own mother tongue. As we are Bangladeshis, our mother tongue is Bangla. We express our views and ideas to each other through this language. But we have not got this language easily. In 1947, the Vice Chancellor of Alighar University Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed said, "Urdu may be the state language of Pakistan as Hindi is going to be the state language of India". Instantly Dr. Mohammad Shahidullah protested it. On 21 March 1948, Mohammad Ali Jinnah declared, "Urdu and Urdu shall be the state language of Pakistan".
People of East Pakistan protested it vigorously. Again, on 20 February in 1952, Nazim Uddin proclaimed that Urdu would be the state language. Consequently, the alert and intelligent mass of East Pakistan, students, teachers and all organized people reacted and united under an umbrella for establishing Bangla as the state language. On the next day, the language movement took the final shape. Violating section 144, they brought out a procession on 21 February 1952. In this movement, many Bangalees including some students like Asad, Salam, Barkat, Rafiq, Jabbar, Shafiq and many others sacrificed their lives for mother tongue, Bangla. And that is why the 21st February is regarded as a red-letter day in our national life.
Every year we remember this day with due respect. The day is declared as the Govt. holiday and on this day the National Flag remains half-mast and people go to Shaheed Minar barefooted for showing honor and sympathy to the martyrs. Now, this day has been very significant because this day has been recognized by the UNESCO as the International Mother Language Day in its 30th General Assembly Meeting held on 17 November 1999. We can remember Abdul Gaffer's immortal sayings, "Bloodstained of my brother of 21 February, can I forget it".
