Introduction to Shaheed Minar Dhaka

Shaheed Minar is the memorial of the glorious bearer of Bayannar language movement. Central Shaheed Minar is located next to Dhaka Medical College . On February 21, 1952, a procession of Dhaka University students and progressive political workers violated Article 144 and entered the Dhaka Medical College area demanding Bangla as the national language, and were fired upon indiscriminately. At that time Salam, Jabbar, Rafiq and many others who are not known were martyred. In their memory, the first Shaheed Minar was constructed on February 23 at the eastern end of shed number 12 of the Medical College student hostel.
The then students of Dhaka Medical College built Shaheed Minar between afternoon and night. News of Martyr Minar was published in Dainik Azad newspaper under the title In memory of Shaheed Vir. The first Shaheed Minar was 10 feet in height and 6 feet in width. GS Sharfuddin, Badrul Alam, Syed Haider were two masons involved in the construction of Shaheed Minar. On February 26, the Shaheed Minar was demolished on the orders of the government. After Bengali was recognized as the national language in 1957, the construction of the current central Shaheed Minar started and ended in 1963.
