We were the only country in the world who fought for their own mother tongue but the reality is today about 45% of the population are still illiterate.21st February today has just become a stage show where most of us go to give flowers as a part of our acting.What meaning does that have where in reality most of us are doing absolutely nothing to help improve the situation. We dream of a Bangladesh where everyone knows how to read and write.If you agree then lets join the movement.

A Different Way
I must admit I was curious when I heard of the book that could make people know how to read and write within 7 days. It was a thin four page book which could even be called a real book beacause of the size and shape.It was not freely given. and the students would have to pay a 10 taka to have the book that could possibly change their lives. One might say that it is not their age to know how to read and write but we believe that there is no barrier when it comes to knowledge. It is never too late if you do not know something. I thought it would be the same booklet which I used in my childhood with the typical arrangement of letters and pictures but to my surprise it was not. I got it then why it took so long to develop such a book. Each page was decorated with four letter of Bangla Language.It might seem a random arrangement of letters but if one look carefully one can make as many as 20 words using them. The students not only become familiar with the letters but also become aware of the the many words associated with the letter.And that was the magic of the book.
