Read the text and answer the questions following it [1-3]
The International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic, cultural diversity and multilingualism. It is a red letter day in our national history. The date represents the day in 1952 when students from different educational institutions demonstrated for recognition of their language, Bangla, as one of the two national languages of the then Pakistan. They were shot by police in Dhaka near High Court for violating section 144. The street of Dhaka University was stained with the blood of Barkat, Rafique, Salam, Jabbar and others. The following day strike paralysed the whole of East Pakistan. At last the Pakistani rulers were compelled to accept Bangla as one of the state languages of Pakistan.
The UNESCO has proclaimed February 21st as the International Mother Language Day to be observed globally in recognition of the sacrifices of the martyrs. It is our greatest achievement. The proposal to recognize 21st February as the International Mother Language Day was put forward for consideration to the general assembly of UNESCO by a Canadian organization. At first it was rejected as some western countries opposed to this proposal. This proposal has again been put forward for consideration by the education minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh to the 30th general assembly of UNESCO in November 1999. After procrastination, the proposal was passed unanimously, However, the recognition of the day as the International Mother Language Day by UNESCO has upheld our prestige all over the world and we celebrated the recognition nationally on 8th December 1999.
