Language movement is a historical part of Bangladesh. In 1947 India and Pakistan gained independence from Great Britain. Two new state born in the world map. Pakistan was decided Urdu will be their state language. One thing is mentionable here that Pakistan had two parts, One is East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) and other is West Pakistan (Present Pakistan). All the people of East Pakistan were Bengali speaking. Mother tongue is divine gift. But it was an irony of fate that the rulers of Pakistan tried to impose Urdu as mother tongue instead of Bangla.
The first movement on this issue was integrated by Tamaddun Mujlish headed by Professor Abul Kashem. On 06th December 1947 East Pakistani students became gathered and held a meeting on Dhaka University Campus demanding that Bangla will be made one of the state languages of Pakistan. At the end of December 1947 the first Rastrabhasa Sangram Parishad (Language Action Committee) was formed with Professor Nurul Huq Bhuiyan of Tamaddun Majlish as the convener.
