  • The Shaheed Minar is a national monument in Dhaka, Bangladesh, established to commemorate those killed during the Language Movement demonstrations of 1952. On February 21, 1952, dozens of students and political activists were killed when the Pakistani police force opened fire on Bengali protesters who were demanding equal status to their native tongue, Bangla. The massacre occurred near Dhaka Medical College and Ramna Park in Dhaka. A makeshift monument was erected on February 23 by students of University of Dhaka and other educational institutions, but soon demolished on February 26 by the Pakistani police force. The Language Movement gained momentum and after a long struggle, Bangla was given equal status as Urdu. To commemorate the dead, the Shaheed Minar was designed and built by Hamidur Rahman, a Bangladeshi sculptor. The monument stood until the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, when it was demolished completely during Operation Searchlight, during which the Pakistani Army estimates they inflicted 26,000 civilian deaths, while other organizations such as National Geographic estimate casualties numbering over 3 million. After Bangladesh gained independence, it was rebuilt. Today, the Shaheed Minar is the centre of cultural activities in Dhaka. Every year, the Language Movement is remembered at the monument.

  • Lo Shaheed Minar (শহীদ মিনার) è un monumento nazionale situato a Dhaka, in Bangladesh, realizzato per commemorare i martiri del movimento per la conservazione della lingua madre nel 1952. (Shaheed significa martire) Il 21 febbraio 1952 dozzine di studenti ed attivisti politici furono uccisi quando la polizia pakistana aprì il fuoco sui protestanti che stavano chiedendo uguali diritti per la loro lingua nativa, il bengalese, detto in lingua originale "Bangla". Il massacro si verificò presso il Dhaka Medical College e il parco di Ramna a Dhaka. Un monumento fu eretto la stessa notte da studenti dell'università di Dhaka ed altre istituzioni, ma fu presto demolito dalle forze pakistane. Il movimento per la lingua alla fine prevalse, e il Bangla acquisì gli stessi diritti dell'Urdu. Per commemorare i martiri, lo Shaheed Minar fu progettato e costruito da Hamidur Rahman, uno scultore locale. Il monumento rimase al suo posto fino alla guerra del 1971 quando venne demolito dai militari pakistani durante azioni contro i civili che causarono 300,000 vittime. Dopo l'indipendenza del Bangladesh il monumento fu ricostuito. Oggi lo Shaheed Minar è il centro delle attività culturali di Dhaka. Il 21 febbraio si ricordano le vittime dello sterminio e recentemente la stessa data è stata scelta dall'Unesco come giornatà internazionale della lingua madre.
  • シャヒド・ミナール(ベンガル語: শহীদ মিনার)は、バングラデシュの首都ダッカにある国定記念碑。1952年に起こったベンガル言語運動の犠牲者を追悼する目的で建設された。 1952年2月21日、母国語であるベンガル語の対等な社会的地位を要求したベンガル人の主張者へ、パキスタンの警察隊が発砲し、多くの学生と政治活動家達が殺害された。この虐殺は、ダッカにあるダッカ薬科大学とラムナ・パークの近隣で起こった。同年2月23日 に、一時的な記念碑がダッカ大学と別の教育機関によって建設されたが、そのすぐ後の2月26日に記念碑はパキスタンの警察により取り壊された。 言語運動は勢いがつき、長期に渡る争いの後、ベンガル語はウルドゥー語と対等の地位を獲得した。運動で死亡した人々を追悼するために、バングラデシュの彫刻家、ハミドゥル・ラハマンによってシャヒド・ミナールがデザイン及び建設された。記念碑は1971年のバングラデシュ独立戦争が起こるまで建っていた。この戦争でパキスタン軍が実行し、結果として5万人の市民の命が奪われたと推定される大量虐殺、サーチライト作戦 (Operation Searchlight) が行われていた中で完全に破壊されてしまった。バングラデシュの独立後、記念碑は再び建設された。 現在、シャヒド・ミナールはダッカに置いて文化的な活動の中心地となっている。毎年、この記念碑で言語運動の慰霊祭が行われる。
