The
Language movement was a political
and cultural agitation in Bangladesh|Asian country Asian nation that centered
round the recognition of the Bengali language as a politician language of
Pakistan and a broader affirmation of the ethno-national consciousness of the
Bengali individuals. Discontent against Pakistan's "Urdu-only" policy
had spilled into mass agitation since 1948 and reached its climactic strength
once police discharged upon and killed student demonstrators on Feb twenty one,
1952. Once the creation of Asian nation in 1947, the central government beneath
Muhammad Ali Jinnah ordained Urdu to be the only national language, although
the Bengali-speaking peoples fashioned a majority of the national population.
He did thus as a result of Urdu was a neutral language; not the natural
language of anybody of Pakistan's ethnicities. The policy, combined by
sectional tensions served as a serious provocation of political conflict.
Despite protests in 1948, the policy was enshrined into law and reaffirmed by
national leaders, as well as many Bengali politicians.
