Paragraph On The 21st of February Or The International Mother
Language Day
Mother tongue is a
divine gift. 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 colour.
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 irony of fate that the then rulers of Pakistan tried to impose Urdu as their 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 lives for the cause of our mother tongue
on the 21st of February 1952. Since then this day has been called the Shaheed Dibash.
Every year we remember this day with solemnity and pay them profound tribute.
Now it is a great pleasure for us that. 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 from the people of the world.

21st February is the
International Mother Language Day. It is also a very significant day in the
history of our national life. In 1952 when the Pakistani regime declared Urdu as
the state language disregarding Bangla, our mother tongue, many Bengalese
sacrificed their lives to establish our mother tongue. Since then we observe
this day with respect and solemnity to pay tribute to these martyrs. Recently
the recognition of the day as International Mother Language Day has marked
a new epoch in our national history. It is a glorious year in our national
history. The sacrifice of lives for the sake of language is a rare event in the
history of the world. So it is our great achievement that from now on the whole
world will observe the day (21st February) as the International
Mother Language Day. This global recognition is the best reward for the
martyrs. In the 30th General Assembly of UNESCO in 1999 the proposal
to recognize 21st February as International Mother Language Day has
been unanimously passed. And we celebrate this recognition of nationality on 8th
December of the year 1999.
