International Mother Language Day In Dhaka

Bangladeshi worker paints on the ground of the Central Shahid Minar (language movement mausoleum), in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on February 16, 2020, as part of preparations for the forthcoming Language Martyrs Day and International Mother language Day. Language Martyrs Day is marked in Bangladesh to memorialize those who died during protests on February 21, 1952 against the then Pakistani states governments' decision to name Urdu as the national language, despite East Pakistan's (Now Bangladesh) Bengali speaking majority.
