Mother Language is divine gift as stated in the holy Quran. It's very important in the sense that the people of a country express their idea, thought, feelings and emotions clearly through it.The 21st February is a red letter day in our national and international life also. Every year on this very day, the whole nation comes to the martyr's monument and the ritual seems to effect a purification of souls. On this day in 1952, the the brave sons of "Mother-Bengle" laid down their lives to protect the interest of the mother tongue (language). According to a unanimous decision of the UNESCO on Nov. 17, 1999, this day is now the INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY. This declaration has turned a national celebration to an international event. Now the whole the world observes the 21st February as International Mother Language Day. UN Secretary General (Ex.) Kofi Anan truly says. "This day will help to raise awareness among the nations of the world about the enduring value of their language."
