The Central Shaheed Minar symbolizes the nation's respect to the martyrs of the language movement of 1952. It is located in Dhaka between Dhaka Medical College Hospital and the Annexed Building of Dhaka University. The architect of this monument was Hamidur Rahman , the pioneer of the new painting movement in the then Pakistan. He experimented with basic horizontal and vertical forms of bringing out the concept of Bengali solidarity and unity for their national identity. The vertical lines of his design provided the manifestations of inner strength. The four columns on both sides of the central structure reflect the balance and harmony of a united stand. Today the Shaheed Minar stands for freedom, strength and unity. Standing before Shaheed Minar we feel proud of those heroes who attained martyrdom for establishing the rightful place of Bangla, our beloved mother tongue.
