শুভ নববর্ষ!
Pohela Boishakh, also known as Bengali New Year or Nobo Borso, marks the first day of the initial month of Baishakh of the Bengali solar calendar. It is one of the most important festivals for the Bengali community and is celebrated with much pomp in West Bengal and Bangladesh!

On this day in 1952, students of Dhaka University gave their lives for our mother tongue, Bangla.

21st February does not only mark one of the most important dates for Bangladesh as a nation for fighting for the right to our mother language, but also for the world, because it’s “International Mother Language Day”, recognized all over the world.

It is a day to take pride in our mother language irrespective of geography, ethnicity, religion or backgrounds. Nothing is more sweeter than being able to communicate in our own language, with the intensity and emotions that it brings out.

This is a tribute from UWBSA to the sacrifices made by our brave brothers back in 1952. This song is called "Amar Bhai er Rokte Rangano".

The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) is deeply saddened by the recent terrorist attack against the Salman Family. The family lost Yumna Afzaal, Madiha Salman, Talat Afzaal, and Salman Afzaal on Sunday, June 6, 2021, in London, Ontario, leaving their 9-year-old son as the only survivor.

The UWSA stands in solidarity with the Afzaal Family, Muslim students, and the Muslim community. We strongly oppose any acts of violence against the Muslim community and want to make sure Muslim students feel supported.

Donations are being accepted on their GoFundMe, which will be used as Sadaqa Jariya on behalf of the family. You can find the GoFundMe link in our bio.
