Amar Ekushey, Language movement memorial at Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh
The Amar Ekushey sculpture features multiple structural elements representing the martyrs who fought for Bengali language recognition in 1952.
Architect Jahanara Parvin designed this monument, which was inaugurated on February 21, 1991, marking the beginning of International Mother Language Day celebrations.
The monument serves as a central location for gatherings during language-related events, poetry readings, and cultural demonstrations throughout the year.
The sculpture requires immediate maintenance attention due to structural deterioration, including exposed metal components and surface discoloration affecting its appearance.
Students regularly organize candlelight vigils at the monument, maintaining written records of personal reflections about language preservation and cultural identity.
