Status of Bangla
After a bitter struggle we got the recognition of our state language-- 'Bangla'. Now this is recognised as an international mother language all over the world. Nonetheless, this is not getting due recognition in our own country. If we look at the media, the 'Radio Jockey' (RJ) is one of the most glaring examples.
In every speech, they use English words over and over again, rather than Bangla, which does not really represent our national identity. Moreover, using English while speaking Bangla does not express smartness. It is also boring to hear such English words along with Bangla. Broadly speaking, it is sensible that we should use English when it is essential or when the situation demands and vice versa.
