THE HISTORICAL LANGUAGE MOVEMENT OF BANGLADESH

In 1952 , there was a movement in Dhaka city. From the history it has been known as our language movement. It is very special to us. Besides, it plays a significant role to represents our nationalism to the world. But it has something exceptional because many countries in the world has their own history of liberation war and gaining freedom and a lot of tales of sacrifices as well as us. But no other country has the history of language movement like we have.




Most of the people think that 1952, was the time when the struggling period started. But the concern is wrong, it was started long ago, right after the division of India and Pakistan. On the first meeting of the parliament of Pakistan 1947,  Dhirendranath datta proposed the governor on that time  to establish Bangla as one of the state language of Pakistan. But the governor refused his proposal where as the three-third people of Pakistan belongs to East Pakistan(present Bangladesh). It was the first time when the rulars has been created an issue with the people of East Pakistan.



Then, on a convocation ceremony of the University of Dhaka Khaza Najimuddin governor of Pakistan declared Urdu as the only state language of Pakistan. The students protested against the declaration. From that day the movement started it lasted on 21st February, 1952 when a lot of people died by the cross fire of state police. It was the first time for any nation who  gave their lives for their mother language. Finally, the government of Pakistan declared Bangla as one of the state language of Pakistan in 1956.


Every year, we celebrate 21st February as our mother language day and 1996 UNESCO  honored this day as International mother language day.

   Imagine a lush oasis filled with exotic plants and towering greenery, said to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Isn't it intriguing? Let me introduce you to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. These gardens were like a green paradise, with plants stacked on top of each other in terraces, making it look like they were hanging. People back then thought it was mind-blowing, and honestly, it still sounds pretty amazing today. But here's the twist, some historians are still debating if they actually existed or not. It's like the ultimate mystery of the ancient world. Legend has it that King Nebuchadnezzar II, back in the day around 600 BC, built these incredible Hanging Gardens next to his fancy palace, which they called "The Marvel of Mankind." Why? Because his wife, Queen Amytis, was feeling homesick for the lush landscapes of her homeland. Can you imagine? So, he decided to surprise her with this epic garden paradise, complete with all sorts of plants...

"The Strength and Resilience of Single Motherhood"

In a world where family dynamics vary widely, the journey of single motherhood stands as a testament to the remarkable strength, resilience, and love that define the human experience. As we explore the complication of this journey, we uncover stories of triumph, moments of vulnerability, and the unwavering determination that propels single mothers forward. Single motherhood — a phrase that carries many stories of strength, perseverance, and resilience. It takes a village to raise a child yet single mothers are out there doing it all by themselves — juggling a million other responsibilities, and dealing with social stigma. Despite all these barriers and challenges, these mothers are shattering stereotypes and exceeding expectations.

The Strange World of Professional Wrestling

Image
  When people hear the term wrestling they think about people in shorts fake fighting. They generally aren't aware of the unique attributes that the business of pro wrestling has. This is the only industry in the world where perception truly is reality and the actual truth may not be important whatsoever. I personally believe that people can be attracted to pro wrestling in three ways. One of them is physically impressive maneuvers being executed with  the cooperation of the wrestlers in the match. The second one is exposure to larger than life characters. The final way is the stories being told in context of the wrestling show in a vacuum. Sometimes when people see a move being done in the wrestling ring that they can't believe is possible they become mesmerized. They may start watching other wrestling in the hopes of seeing something that impresses them as much if not more. Even though this may the most common way people first start watching pro wrestling this will not keep ...
