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. Now the whole world observes the 21st February as
International Mother Language Day. 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. It is our national holiday. Our national flag is kept hoisted half most on
this day.
