Shaheed Day

The 21st february is a red letter day in our national life. On this day in 1952, the brave sons of our motherland laid down their lives to protect the interest of our mother language.Since then we had been observing this day as "Shaheed Day". But in 1999, UNESCO declared this day as "International Mother Language Day". We used to celebrate the day at our national level because it was not only importent regarding our mother tongue. The teaching of the day is that we all should respect the mother languages of others. Our mother language is our unique possession. In the same way, other peoples mother languages are also priceless to them.

Bangladesh is a country of rivers. All of the rivers fall into the Bay of Bengal. Many cities, markets and villages stand on both sides of the rivers. In the rainy season the rivers hold terrible shape. But in the winter they remain very calm.

This is my Motherland. Her name is Bangladesh. How beautiful our Bangladesh is! In the morning and evening there is golden colour in her sky. The silvery moon is seen at night. Her fields are covered with golden crops and villages with green colour. I am great lucky that i am born in this country.
