Language Movement and the making of Bangladesh

এই বই সম্পর্কে

Safar Ali Akanda examines the language movement as a turning point in the development of Bengali political identity. Rather than treating the campaign for Bangla as an isolated episode, he follows its connections with Pakistan’s wider political conflicts and the growing demand for an independent Bangladesh. The changing strength of the movement forms part of his explanation of how cultural claims became national questions. The book considers the relationship between the language struggle, debates about national integration and the eventual war of liberation. It also includes biographical sketches of people involved in these movements, giving individual activists a place within the broader historical argument. Akanda writes as a historian who also participated in the language movement and the Liberation War. His study offers readers a connected account of two struggles often studied separately, while its attention to participants helps make the development of nationalism more tangible.
