Composition : Shaheed Day
February 21 is the Shaheed Day in Bangladesh. Pakistan came
into being in 1947. But the Bangladeshis were being deprived (বঞ্চিত করা) of their rights and
privileges (সুবিধা). It was
declared that Urdu would be made the state language. The Bangladeshi students
protested. The Bangladeshis were a majority in Pakistan. But Bangla was not
recognized as a state language.
A strong Language Movement began in 1952. The students took
the lead in this regard. There were strikes and processions all over the
country. The police started firing at innocent students. As a result, Barkat,
Salam, Rafique and Jabbar became Shaheed on February 21, 1952. They gave their
blood to establish the right of seven and a half crore of the Bangladeshis.
Bangla was then made state language with Urdu.
Bangladesh gained the independence from the hands of
Pakistani autocratic rules in 1971. But it was not won in a day. The Language
movement in 1952 has a greater and wider influence on the emergence of
Bangladesh. The Bangalees were being united since then. As the students
influenced mostly, they played an important role during our liberation war.
The language movement marks the beginning of our struggle
for freedom. To show respect to those noble souls we observe February 21 every
year as the Shaheed Day in Bangladesh. Every year after 12-midnight people go
to the Central Shaheed Minar bare-footed and pay their respects to the martyrs
(শহীদ). They also
go to the Azimpur burial ground (কবরস্থান) and
place flowers and wreaths upon the graves of the shaheeds.
