February 21, 1952. Cumilla town. The local student community, like the rest of the country, takes out a procession in support of the Language Movement. As protesters pass through a Bihari (non-Bangalee) colony, several residents attack the procession with knives. At least 15 students were injured. As soon as the news spread, students from all over town took to the streets.
