- The 1952 Language Movement which made Bengali one of Pakistan's official languages after police killed student protesters.
- The 1966 Six Point Movement led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman which demanded greater autonomy and economic rights for East Pakistan in response to discrimination by West Pakistan.
- The discrimination faced by East Pakistan (Bangladesh) from the central government in West Pakistan, including economic exploitation and the diversion of East Pakistan's resources to develop West Pakistan. This growing resentment set the stage for Bangladesh's liberation war and independence in 1971.

Language Movement and Discriminations Against East Pakistan.pptxararassel 1. The Bengali Language Movement (1952)
One of the most famous language movements took place in what is now Bangladesh. In 1947, the Indian subcontinent was partitioned into India and Pakistan. East Pakistan (modern-day Bangladesh) was a predominantly Bengali-speaking region, while West Pakistan (modern-day Pakistan) used Urdu and English as official languages. In 1948, the government of Pakistan declared Urdu as the sole national language, marginalizing the Bengali-speaking majority in East Pakistan.
Protests erupted in Dhaka, and on February 21, 1952, the Pakistani police opened fire on peaceful student demonstrators demanding that Bengali be recognized as one of the national languages. Several students were killed, and the event is now commemorated as Language Martyrs' Day in Bangladesh. The movement is seen as a pivotal moment in the struggle for Bengali linguistic and cultural identity, and it eventually contributed to the larger political movements that led to the independence of Bangladesh in 1971.

The sacrifices made by the martyrs of the movement were not only a victory for the Bengali language but also a crucial step towards the realization of Bangladesh as a sovereign state in 1971

In 1947, Pakistan consisted of two parts that spoke different languages - Urdu in West Pakistan and Bengali in East Pakistan. In 1952, the government of Pakistan tried to make Urdu the sole national language, sparking protests in East Pakistan. When police fired on demonstrations, several protesters were killed, sparking the Language Movement to protect the status of Bengali.

Azim akhtar decline of urdu &impact on education in upsatyendraurinfo The document discusses the decline of Urdu language and its impact on education in Uttar Pradesh, India. It traces the history of language policy in UP from the colonial period when both Urdu and Hindi were used for education, to the post-independence period when Hindi in Devanagari script was declared the sole official language, ignoring the rights and sentiments of Urdu speakers. As a result, literacy rates in UP remained very low compared to national averages due to the lack of mother tongue education. The United Nations and various committees have emphasized the importance of mother tongue education at the primary level, but the UP government has failed to implement a multilingual policy respecting the rights of linguistic minorities.

Azim akhtar decline of urdu &impact on education in upsatyendraurinfo The document discusses the decline of Urdu language in education in Uttar Pradesh and its impact. It notes that historically both Urdu and Hindi were used as mediums of instruction in schools in the region. However, after independence the government promoted Hindi as the sole official language, neglecting Urdu. This went against the historical dual role of Urdu and Hindi in education. The document outlines how international organizations like UNESCO have emphasized the importance of using a child's mother tongue in early education. However, the Uttar Pradesh government has failed to implement mother tongue education policies and promote the use of Urdu in schools.
