A propos de cet article

Contents: Acronyms. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The state language controversy in Pakistan. 3. Language movement 1948. 4. From 1948 till 1952: essentially a students movement. 5. Twenty-first February 1952. 6. Developments after 1952. 7. International mother language day. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. "21st February is the International Mother Language Day.

Mainly dealing with the period from 1947 to 1956 when Bangla was recognised as a state language of Pakistan, the book covers subsequent landmarks in the history of the movement ending with the declaration of Mother Language Day in 2000. The history of Bangla as a language in the Indo-Germanic family and its emergence as a pioneer language in the subcontinent and a language of the Muslims in Bengal is briefly recounted. Pakistan imposed Urdu as the only official language in the country neglecting the claim of Bangla, the language of 63 percent of its population.
