Shaheed Minar

Savar Upazila, Bangladesh

The Jahangirnagar University Shaheed Minar (Bengali) is a memorial monument. The Bengali Language Movement remains an enduring source of inspiration and a formative achievement in the history of Bangladesh. Embedded in that movement was the aspiration for independence, which changed the course of history and culminated in the Bangladesh Liberation War. The architectural design of Jahangirnagar University's central Shaheed Minar seeks to honour and dignify these pivotal moments in Bangladesh's national history.
