It is necessary to respect the Bengali language, the signboards of the schools should be in Bengali language: MA Ali
Kolkata: Bengali is the first language of West Bengal. Despite this, the name of Bengali language is not visible in the signboards of most of the schools in the state, especially the English medium schools. International karate coach and champion MA Ali has objected to this. He has demanded that at least the school signboards should be in Bengali language.
For his outstanding contribution in the field of social service, MA Ali was awarded gold medal by the Purva Bharat Bangla Sahitya O Snskritik Parishad. He was given this award at Tripura Hitasadhani Auditorium on College Street.
Many eminent personalities of the art and literary world were present on this occasion. In which Jaganmoy Mishra, Swapan Kumar Das, Dilip Kumar Mandal, Devbrata Dutta, Tusharakanti Mukhopadhyay, Navochanchal Vishwas, Bidhana Ghosh etc. were prominent.
On this occasion, MA Ali said that Bengali language is the mother tongue of West Bengal. But the sad thing is that people are getting away from this very sweet and lovely language. For which the people themselves are responsible. Who are teaching their children to say good morning and good night. Which is against Bengali culture.
He said that there are thousands of English medium schools in West Bengal, but the signboard of any English school is not in Bengali language. Bengali is the language of the people of Bengal. It is necessary to respect this language. That’s why schools should write the name of the school on their signboards in Bengali language also. The government should also pay attention to this.
MA Ali said that today’s children are busy in mobile all the time. Due to which children are getting away from books and from their language. If the Bengali language is to be saved, then children have to be inculcated in the habit of reading books. Due to mobile, their studies are also getting damaged. At the same time, they are also becoming a victim of bad habits. It is very important to pay attention to this.
