On February 21, 1952, a number of students campaigning for the recognition of Bangla as one of the state languages of Pakistan were killed when police fired at them. Since 2000, February 21 is observed as International Mother Language Day in tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue. Dhaka, Bangladesh. February 21, 2007.
