The "Language Movement" refers to a social and political campaign aimed at promoting and preserving a specific language, often in the context of cultural identity and rights. This movement can arise when a language is threatened by dominance from another language, leading to efforts to maintain its use in education, government, and daily life. One notable example is the Bengali Language Movement in East Pakistan during the early 1950s, where speakers of Bengali protested against the imposition of Urdu as the sole national language. This movement ultimately contributed to the recognition of Bengali as an official language and played a significant role in the struggle for Bangladesh’s independence.
