Shahid Minar
The Shaheed Minar is a national monument in Dhaka, Bangladesh, established to commemorate those killed
during the Language Movement demonstrations of 1952.On February 21, 1952, dozens of students and political
activists were killed when the Pakistani police force opened fire on Bengali protesters who were demanding equal
status to their native tongue, Bangla. The massacre occurred near Dhaka Medical College and Ramna Park in
Dhaka. A makeshift monument was erected on February 23 by students of University of Dhaka and other
educational institutions, but soon demolished on February 26 by the Pakistani police force.The Language
Movement gained momentum and after a long struggle, Bangla was given equal status as Urdu. To commemorate
the dead, the Shaheed Minar was designed and built by Hamidur Rahman, a Bangladeshi sculptor. The monument
stood until the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, when it was demolished completely during Operation
Searchlight. After Bangladesh gained independence, it was rebuilt .Today, the Shaheed Minar is the centre of
cultural activities in Dhaka. Every year, the Language Movement is remembered at the monument .
