Following Partition in 1947, major conflicts over land, religion, power, and language characterized the newly independent nations of India and Pakistan. The debate over recognizing Bangla as a state language in East Pakistan was particularly consequential. Lasting nearly a decade, it upended Pakistan's political and social order and set the stage for Bangladeshi independence in 1971. Shakil Rabbi investigates the rhetorical facets of this debate and its takeaways for critical conversations around translingualist perspectives and rhetorical sovereignty. Rabbi analyzes the role of traditional, modernist, and folk ideologies during this era of subcontinental history through a combination of digital humanities and translingualist methodologies. \u003ci\u003eThe Language Movement in Bangladesh\u003c\/i\u003e adds to scholarship around language rights and language ideologies with an examination of a politically explosive debate in a non-Western and postcolonial context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShakil Rabbi\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in the Department of English at Virginia Tech, where he teaches courses in rhetoric, writing studies, and research methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9.03 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801487401267,"sku":"9780822967903","price":71.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hrONkt6wBc9780822967903_7c6880cc-6075-4e27-ab5f-4dbded203ec8.webp?v=1785968925","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-language-movement-in-bangladesh-translingualism-and-a-struggle-for-rhetorical-sovereignty-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
