achievement which is immeasurable. It stands upright for the millions
of martyrs who laid their lives so that we may stand upright, in honour
and dignity, amongst the nations of the world. Most prominently visible

of 150 feet. The foundation was laid on the first anniversary of the
Victory day. There is actually a plan to build a huge complex in several
phases. The entire complex will cover an area of 126 acres. The plan of
this complex includes a mosque, a library and a museum. The relics of
the liberation war will be kept museum. They will eber remind our
countrymen and all who would come to visit the museum of the valiant
struggle and supreme sacrifices of a freedom loving people .
Here also will be clear warning to all oppressors that the weapons of
freedom need not be very big. The will of people prevails, for man is
born to be free. The most moving sight of the complex is the graves we
bow down our heads in respect, as the towards soar symbolizing the
loftiness of their sprit.
