Language movement is a historical part of Bangladesh. In 1947 India and Pakistan gained independence from Great Britain. Two new state born in the world map. Pakistan was decided Urdu will be their state language. One thing is mentionable here that Pakistan had two part, One is East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) and other is West Pakistan (Present Pakistan). All the people of East Pakistan were Bengali speaking. Mother tongue is divine gift. But it was an irony of fate that the rulers of Pakistan tried to impose Urdu as mother tongue instead of Bangla. February plays an important role in making Bangalis aware of their cultural and national heritage and ultimately and the background to the rise of Bangali nationalism. Since 2000, 21 February is also being observed as the International Mother Language Day
