Beside the Dhaka University, the Shahid Minar is a symbol of pride and honour for the heros given their life for Mother Language. The place is very exciting to encourage all ages and specially for young and youth. The history of 1952, the language movement and later the recognition of 21 Feb as International Mother Language Day all symbolized from this monument. A must... must and must see for anyone

This important memorial to the million Bangladeshi that perished for national freedom is worth the trip outside of Dhaka to Savar Union. Smacking of 1970's architecture, make sure you have a guide explain to you the meaning of the seven pillars. There are several plots of mass graves from Bangladeshi that were murdered during the fight for independence. Quite moving and important.

The Independence Monument, or 'Shadhinota Stambha' as it is called in Bengali, has been erected at the spot where independence leader and Father of the Nation - Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - made his historic declaration of independence before the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. The monument is placed on the exact spot where the podium was and from which Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his historic speech. Ironically this is also where the Pakistani army generals surrendered a few months later! The Independence Monument looks very high and has beautiful calligraphic inscriptions on the glass exterior. At night the large tower and the light emitted from it makes it visible from nearly the furthest corners of the city. There is an eternal flame commemorating the brave Bangladeshi men and women who gave their lives to gain independence in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
