The language of the beginning and protest of the Language Movement

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman 
Memories of Language Movement In the Bangalee nation, the ever-unhurried life. On February 21, 1971, at 12.11 pm, he read Fateha at the grave of Bangabandhu Shahid and gave flowers to the grave. From there, he walked barefoot on the Shaheed Minar. That night he gave an address in the Shaheed Minar.

• Sheikh Mujibur Rahman said:
                                              'Bangladesh will not be a market, no one will be ill-fated. They killed our boys in the city. They are martyred. In this struggle, we will be Gazi '(Makosud 2015).

Language Movement organized in 1952 for the promotion of the official status of Bengali language. On 21 February 1952, violation of Article 144 prohibited many students and progressive political activists of Dhaka University started a procession. When the procession was near Dhaka Medical College, police fired on protesters on the pretext of contempt of Section 144. Rafiq, Salam, Barkat and many more were killed in the shooting. Shahid's bloodstream became famous. Sadly, in this incident, the whole of East Pakistan was intensified.

British rule ended in the Indian subcontinent in 1947 and two independent states namely Pak-India were born. Pakistan's central leaders said that the state of Pakistan will be the Urdu language. On the other hand, there was a demand from East Pakistan, Bengal would have to make one state language, but the central government of Pakistan completely disregarded this demand of Bengali language. In this Chatra Bind and the educated intellectuals of Dhaka became angry and in this matter, they prepared a final call for the following:
Bangladesh Map
Under the supervision of education and government work in East Pakistan, Bengali and central government will be the state language of Pakistan, both Bangla, and Urdu.

Under the initiative of the then Education Minister in the central government forums in West Pakistan in secret, the efforts are being made to make Urdu the sole state language of Pakistan. In this, the students of Pakistan became angrier and they organized a student rally at Dhaka University on 6 December 1947 and demanded Bangla to become one of the state languages ​​and continued the procession. At the end of this month, Tamudun Majlish Professor Nurul Haque formed Bhuiya as a convenor and formed a council in the state language struggle. On March 11, 1948, a memorable day in the history of Language Movement. In addition to excluding Bengal from the language index of the Constituent Assembly, the general strike was observed in the Dhaka city on that day in protest of the use of Bengali in currency and stamps and the appointment of the Navy in the Navy, instead of Bengal, instead of Bengal. The strikers demanded that Bengal be declared one of the state languages ​​of Pakistan and the official language of East Pakistan. Shawkat Ali, Qazi Golam Mahbub, Shamsul Haque, Oli Ahad, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Abdul Wahab, and others were arrested in the procession with the slogan "State Language Bangla Want" for the strike. Student leaders like Abdul Matin, Abdul Malek Ukil also participated in the procession; A large public rally was held at the university premises. In an attempt to snatch a rifle from police, Mohammad Taha was severely hit by police and he was admitted to the hospital after the strike was celebrated on 12-15 March. The government's attitude is somewhat flexible in terms of movement. Chief Minister Khwaja Nazimuddin signed an agreement with student leaders. But the agreement was signed. But he could not be accepted for the demand.
