History of International Mother Language Day:

Partition of India in 1947, the Bengal region was divided according to the foremost religious assurance of the population. The western parts became a part of India, and the eastern part made up a state of Pakistan known as East Bengal and subsequently East Pakistan. However, there was economic, educational, and linguistic resistance between East and West Pakistan.

These apprehensions were apparent in 1948 when Pakistan's government declared that Urdu was the only national language. This set fire to objection among the Bengali-speaking typical general public in East Pakistan. The government banned the disputes, but on February 21, 1952, students at the University of Dhaka and other activists organized a protest. Shortly that day, the police force opened fire on the protesters, killing four students. These students’ breakdown in a hostile environment for the right to use their mother language is currently reflected on International Mother Language Day. On International Mother Language Day, the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and other UN organizations participate in dealings that encourage linguistic and cultural diversity.
