What individuals and events in history are a source of pride for Bangladesh?
Can you tell me more about the language movement of 1952?
Of course. The language movement was a defining moment in Bangladesh's history. It was a political and cultural movement that sought to establish the Bengali language as the official language of Pakistan, which at the time included both East and West Pakistan. On February 21, 1952, student protestors were shot and killed by the Pakistani police in Dhaka. Their sacrifice ultimately led to the recognition and adoption of the Bengali language as one of the official languages of Pakistan, and later, the establishment of an independent Bangladesh.
