Government Bangla College (Bengali: সরকারি বাঙলা কলেজ) (also known as Bangla College, or abbreviated as GBC) is a public college located in the northwestern part of the Bangladesh capital Dhaka. The college was established in 1962 by Principal Abul Kashem to promote Bangla as a medium of instruction in higher education and to establish the language in all spheres of national life. It is affiliated with the University of Dhaka.




History


Soon after the historical Language Movement, in 1956 Bengali was recognized as one of the state languages of Pakistan in the country's first Constitution. Shortly thereafter, Principal Abul Kashem, former professor of University of Dhaka and pioneer of the Bengali Language Movement, realized that Bangla is neglected in every different field in Pakistan. In 1960, in a meeting for Martyrs' Day at Curzon Hall at University of Dhaka, he said "Even before West Pakistan was formed, they had established Urdu Colleges to make Urdu as a State language of Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has contributed funds and land to Urdu Colleges. Although we have fought so much, the government is still ignoring our plea. If government doesn't respond, we should create a Bangla Medium College in the future."
In 1961, he started discussions with educationists and intellectuals to set up a Bangla college in then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. The college was established on 1 October 1962.
The college became affiliated with the University of Dhaka in 2017.
