Explanation:
Step 1: On February 21, 1952, University of Dhaka students organised a massive statewide demonstration against the adoption of Urdu as the country's official language. Eventually, numerous lives were lost as a result of the nonviolent demonstration. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated February 21 as International Mother Language Day in 1999 to honour and acknowledge this selfless deed. It is a day of global commemoration meant to encourage multilingualism and raise awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity. Bangladesh also celebrates Shaheed Dibosh (Martyr's Day) on February 21. The names of the five most well-known martyrs of the Language Movement are well-known: Salam, Barkat, Rafiq, Jabbar, and Shafiur. However, it is difficult to determine who else went missing. Several decades later, there
Step 2:In front of the Medical College dorm on the Dhaka University campus, where students were staging their protest, the police started shooting on February 21, 1952. Human lives were lost. The next day, tens of thousands of men and women flocked to the university's Medical College and Engineering College sections to pray for those who had been shot by police. They then participated in a parade after these prayers, at which time police again opened fire. In the day that followed, more people died. In March 1953, the first document about the Language Movement of 1952 was released. Mohammad Sultan, the first president of the Student Union of East Pakistan, served as its publisher.
