LET US PAY HOMAGE TO THE GREAT SHAHEEDS
OF MATRI BHASA ANDOLAN

On 19th May, 1961, in Silchar, a small town of South Assam in North East India
witnessed another fight for the Bengali language and 11 people died in police firing
to protest against the forcible imposition of Assamese on the Bangla speaking people
there as a state policy. The provincial government of Assam had restricted the use
of Bengali in the education of the Bengali's of Assam, despite that Bengali was their
mother tongue. For this reason, on 19th May 1961 the Bengali people of the enitre valley plunged into satygraha revolution in Shilchar in order to protect their mother tongue. Again, that day the brutal police killed 11 spirited people by open
gunfire. The martyrs of 19th May gave their everything for the language and later
the Government had to back down. Due to constant pressure from the Bengali
students and youth, the Assamese provincial government was likewise compelled
to recognize Bengali as the second official language of the state.

Pinki Purkayastha


Chupke se kahta hein mera maan,

Dhadkano me tumhari hi sargam,

Bolo na kaun ho tum???

Hawa ka ek johka ho,

Shamil ho mujhme tum ,

Har lamha apne hone ka ehsas dilate ho

Bolo na kyo rehti hoon tumhare khayalo me gum???

Ankhon se behta hua moti ho,

Sardi ki dhup ho ,

Ya shawan ki bouchar??

Ya phir ho mera mitha sa pehla pyar

Bolo na ekbar kaun ho tum???
