MAY DAY

MAY DAY

                  The first day of May is observed as May Day all over the world. This day is observed to commemorate the historic struggle of working people. Today all the workers enjoy minimum wage, safety in workplace and eight-hour workday. These are the outcome to the struggle of these workers. The day has an eventful historical background. The workers of Chicago protested against injustice and exploitation in 1886. Then the workers had to work 14 hours or more in a day. Even they had no any job security too. On May 3, in 1886, they brought out a rally to realize their demands and police fired into the rally. As a result, at least one worker was killed and five or six others were wounded seriously. Every year this day is observed in Bangladesh with profound respect and dignity. The workers of different workplaces bring out rally on this day. They bear placard and wear special dress. After the rally, some workers deliver speech on the history and significance of the day. However, this day is very important. Now workers of all over the world enjoy job security, a minimum wage and an eight-hour working time. These facilities are the outcome of sacrifice of the workers of Chicago. I respect their heroic struggle.

The International Mother Language Day

The International Mother Language Day

21 February is observed as the International Mother Language Day. The then government of West Pakistan declared in 1948 that only Urdu would be the state language of Pakistan. But the students of our country protested this announcement saying that Bangla would be the state language of East Pakistan. The students formed ‘Mother Language Struggle Parishad’ and decided to continue their movement. On 21 February in 1952, many students brought out a procession and claimed their demand. But suddenly the police fired upon the procession and some students died on the spot. Consequently, Bangla was declared the state language of East Pakistan. Afterwards, on November 17, 1999, UNESCO declared the day as the International Mother Language Day. The day is observed to respect one’s mother tongue, in multilingual variety and cultural traditions throughout the world. On 21 February, the people of our country generally wake up early in the morning. They walk to Shaheed Minars barefooted with flowers and wreaths in hands. They also put on a black badge to mark the day as a mournful one for them. They offer flowers and wreaths on the foot of Shaheed Minars by standing silently for some time. Many meetings and seminars are held. People also pray for the salvation of the souls of the martyrs.
