Inside a green picturesque surrounding of Jahangir Nagar University, the sprawling acres of land holds this beautiful monument dedicated to the language martyrs of 1952.The young men who died in 1952 were the earliest of Bengalis to shed blood for their land in a state that had turned its back on them with brazenness of the worst kind. In the years that followed, other Bengalis, by the scores, would die in the incessant battles against the dictatorship imposed by Pakistan between 1958 and 1969. Come 1971 and the figures of the dying made a quantum leap from the mere scores and hundreds to the mind-boggling millions. As freedom dawned on 16 December 1971, three million Bengalis lay dead, victims of an army that had dwindled into being a tribe of marauders come from the wild mountains of the west.
