Our inspirations!
In 1952, the Pakistani rulers tried to force Urdu as the only national language of Pakistan. But the sons of our soil, without even hesitating a little about their lives, protested that move. 'Bangla is my mother tongue' was the slogan of our people. When our protest got stronger, the Pakistanis open fired and killed many of our Language Movement protesters. At last we gained our right to speak in our mother language.
In 1971, our freedom fighters fought with their ultimate strength and bravery, and after nine months of bloodshed, the Pakistanis were forced to give up. Three million people sacrificed their lives for this country. We achieved our freedom on December 16, 1971. We salute our freedom fighters! They are our inspiration.
