"The present generation is gradually becoming rootless because of their disinterest to history. They do not know glorious past of Bangalee nation. They have very little knowledge about the emergence of Bangladesh and they are not disinterested to practice mother tongue," he said.
But youths of the country, the minister said, led the Language Movement in 1952, Education Commission Movement in 1962, Mass Upsurge in 1969 and Liberation War in 1971 and created an independent Bangladesh.
Menon was addressing as chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the annual international conference of Bangladesh Itihas Parishad at Dhaka University Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban.
