Historical Background

After the declaration of Urdu as the state language of Pakistan in 1948, people of

East Bengal (now Bangladesh) locked into a movement with the Pakistani rulers to establish Bengali as a state language of

Pakistan.

In 1952, the movement was fully shaped under the leadership of the students of

University of Dhaka and on the 21st

instant of February they called a shut down that turned deadly when the

provincial government tried to implement Section 144 leaving many of

the protesters dead.

To commemorate the martyrs of the movement, the Shaheed Minar was built.
