::National Shahid Minar of Bangladesh::
The Monument is the symbol of Bangladesh Nationalism. It was built to commemorate the martyrs of historic Language Movement of 1952. Although this movement was apparently for the recognition of Bangla as one of the state languages of the then Pakistan, it was in fact, the first outburst of popular feelings against unpopular and autocratic government. All subsequent movements in Bangladesh leading to its independence in 1971, owe their origin to this movement and, therefore, this monument has become a place of pilgrimage for 120 million Bangladeshis.
