The Shaheed Minar is a national monument in Dhaka, Bangladesh, established to commemorate those killed during the Bengali Language Movemen...
Situated close to the Dhaka Restorative School in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the national landmark known as Shaheed Minar, was set up in memory of the individuals who were executed amid the 1952 Bengali Dialect Development showings. Set upon a fourteen foot high stage, theShaheed Minar National Landmark is built from segments of immaculate marble stone, with stairs and railings painted white and the wall on either side bearing lines of verse penned by popular artists made out of iron letters. Two statues are put at the passageway of the landmark.
The Bengali Dialect Development was shaped as a political push to advocate the acknowledgment of the Bengali dialect as one of Pakistan’s official dialects. Around then Bangladesh was East Pakistan and the Administration of Pakistan had proclaimed Urdu to be the sole national dialect, which the Bengali-talking lion’s share in the territory questioned. Despite rising partisan strains, the administration put a restriction on open gatherings and arouses. Resisting the boycott, understudies of the College of Dhaka, alongside other political activists, sorted out a dissent to happen on 21 February 1952. Police opened flame on the protestors, bringing about many passings.
After two days, understudies raised an alternative landmark at the site of the slaughter to pay tribute to the individuals who had lost their lives. In any case, this was decimated not long after by the Pakistani police power. Instead of smothering the Dialect Development, the contention appeared to goad it on, in the end prompting Bangla being given the same status as that of Urdu.
Bangladeshi artist, Hamidur Rahman, planned and assembled a substitution landmark, which remained until the 1971 Bangladesh Freedom War. The landmark was pulverized amid the scandalous “Operation Searchlight”, in which the Pakistan Armed force endeavored to check the Bengali patriot development of East Pakistan, bringing about numerous passings. In any case, taking after the giving of autonomy to Bangladesh the landmark was reconstructed, and today serves as an essential focus of social exercises in the city of Dhaka. TheLanguage Development saints are recalled at the Shaheed Minar consistently.
Shaheed Minar is of such significance to the general population of Bangladesh, that perpetual copies of the landmark have been inherent different nations where huge Bangladeshi groups have settled. A copy landmark is arranged in the Altab Ali Park in the Tower Villas of East London and another is found in the Westwood neighborhood of Oldham. These copies, and the first Shaheed Minar, serve as an indication of the individuals who persevered to guarantee that the Bangla dialect be given due acknowledgment.
