The Language Movement influenced a myriad socio-political events later, and it is still doing so. It is not possible to illustrate the significance and influence of the language movement regarding Bangladesh’s socio-political progress in an 800-word article. The impact of this incorrect interpretation of the spirit of our Language Movement can be understood by the levels of English language proficiency in our students. English language proficiency in Bangla medium and religious education system is poor. And this is because we have an attitude that we do not have to learn any other language except Bangla.
