Short Type Question:

Why was Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain stopped from learning Bangla and English? How did she manage to team these languages?

Answer 1

In those days, English was seen as a language that would expose girls to new ideas, which people thought were not correct for them. Therefore, it was mostly boys who were taught English. However, Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain wished to learn these two languages in addition to Urdu. Fortunately, she got the support of her elder brother and an elder sister and ultimately learnt to read and write Bangla and English.
