Mother, the words of your mouth sound like Sudha to my ears.
This is not only the personal feeling of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, but it is the eternal feeling of people of all times. Just as mother's milk is the best nutrition for a child, the best development of a nation can happen through mother tongue. Mother tongue is the best determinant of human identity. Mother tongue is a basic resource of all people irrespective of caste-religion-caste. Like mother and soil, every human being inherits this wealth by birth. On February 21, 1952, the people of East Bengal acquired the status of mother tongue in exchange of blood.
