    Mirpur buddijibi Shahid minar is a memorial monument in Dhaka, Bangladesh, that pays tribute to the intellectuals who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the nation during the 1971 Liberation War. The monument was erected in 1999 on the spot where the mass grave of many martyred intellectuals was discovered after the war. The minar symbolizes the light of knowledge and wisdom that the intellectuals embodied and passed on to the future generations. The minar consists of a circular platform with seven pillars, each representing a branch of knowledge, such as literature, science, education, law, journalism, arts and culture. The minar is surrounded by a lush green garden and a museum that showcases the history and achievements of the martyred intellectuals, as well as their personal belongings and documents. The minar is a place of reverence and inspiration for the people of Bangladesh, who visit it to pay their respects and learn from the legacy of the brave intellectuals.

    Mirpur Budijibi Shahid Minar is a monument located in the Mirpur area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is dedicated to the memory of the Language Movement martyrs who sacrificed their lives in 1952 for the recognition of the Bengali language. The Language Movement was a significant event in the history of Bangladesh, which eventually led to the recognition of Bengali as one of the official languages of the country. The Shahid Minar in Mirpur is one of several such monuments across Bangladesh, commemorating the sacrifices made during the Language Movement. It stands as a symbol of the struggle for the Bengali language and cultural identity. The monument is often visited by people paying their respects and remembering the significance of the Language Movement in Bangladesh's history.

    Shahid Buddhijibi Graveyard or Martyr Intellectuals' Graveyard is the place were the the remains of intellectuals who were murdered by Pakistan Army and their collaborators in 1971. During the Liberation War of Bangladesh the retreating Pakistan army, certain of their defeat, chalked out a heinous plan to eliminate the Bengali intelligentsia. The brutality and killing took a serious turn especially in Dhaka during the days preceding the surrender of the Pak army, particularly on 14 December, the day now commemorated as Shaheed Buddhijibi Hatya Dibash (Martyred Intellectuals Day). The killers used to abduct and carry away the targetted victims from their houses in gestapo style to particular camps or spots very often covering their face with black cloth. They mostly took advantage of curfew in the city and kidnapped the victims. The victims were physically tortured, brutaly killed mostly by indiscriminate bayonet charges. The main spots of execution in Dhaka city were the marshy land at Rayerbazar near Mohammadpur and another at Mirpur, where a huge number of dead bodies were found scattered in the ditches, plains and inside the heaps of bricks. The dead bodies, eyes covered and hands tied, were found wounded and swelled all over their bodies and bullet shots on the chest, head or back. The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationists 991, journalists 13, physicians 49, lawyers 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16. After the victory over Pakistan, the Bangladesh government turned the place at Mirpur where the decomposed bodies of the martyr intellectuals were found. Now there is also have some monument of Bangladeshi intellectual person, artist, martyred persons. Feel free to visit. Stay safe and healthy, travel safe and eat good food. Thank you so much to all.
