Martyrs Day: Bhasha Shaheed Divas
On May 19, 1961, police opened fire on peaceful protesters at the Silchar Railway Station. The activists were part of a mass movement in the Barak Valley against the Assam government's decision to make Assamese the state's sole official language.
The Martyrs: Eleven individuals lost their lives, including Kamala Bhattacharya, who is recognized as the world's first female language martyr.
