Today Marks Ekushey February: Lack of Proper Initiatives in Preserving History and Memories

Today is the immortal Ekushey February, a day of remembrance for the bloodstained Language Movement, observed as Shaheed Day and International Mother Language Day. On this day in 1952, the brave sons of Bengal sacrificed their lives, staining the streets of Dhaka with their blood to uphold the dignity of their mother tongue. This movement paved the way for Bangladesh’s independence, creating an unprecedented example of sacrifice for language rights.
