The history of Bangladesh is one of struggle and triumph. It was formerly part of British India and later became East Pakistan. In 1971, after a nine-month-long bloody war of independence led by the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh emerged as an independent sovereign country.

Language holds a special place in the hearts of Bangladeshis. It is the only country in the world that fought for its mother tongue. On February 21, 1952, students sacrificed their lives to protect the status of the Bengali language, which is why the day is now celebrated globally as International Mother Language Day.
