I am happy to have participated with a Bishnupriya Manipuri poem in collaboration with an organization that has fought for International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The Mother Language Lovers of the World Society (MLLWS) is an organization that follows the vision of its founder, Mr. Rafiqul Islam. Mr. Aminul Islam currently serves as the President of MLLWS.

Thanks to the entire team for inspiring writers around the world to rethink, react, rewrite, and reconnect through their own words for the sake of humanity.

Thank you all for organizing this Mother Language Festival 2025.
