National symbols of Bangladesh

It is probably unimaginable to reflect the suffering that the people of East Pakistan went through to win for themselves one of the most fundamental rights of mankind - Freedom of Speech. People in East Pakistan were restricted by the Central Pakistani government to only use Urdu as their medium of instruction and the official language, and give up their own beloved language, Bangla. Foregoing the language that was central to their ethnological identity was a very unpleasant option for the constituents of the Eastern wing of Pakistan. The Central government demanded that Urdu be the state language for the entire Pakistan, as Urdu was the dominant language in the western part. The general populace of the Eastern part of Pakistan was not ready to embrace Urdu and learn a new language in order to facilitate this forced imposition by the government. Instead of complying, the determined citizens of East Pakistan wanted to defy the odds and protested to retain their mother tongue. A group of students and political activists of University of Dhaka and Dhaka Medical College decided to protest against the oppression meted out to the Bangla-speaking population. They initiated a movement and demanded that Bangla be given equal status as Urdu, and for both to be enshrined as the state languages of Pakistan. The police fired upon the youths and made them the martyrs who epitomized the value of self-determination; their sacrifice set a new precedent for the country to demand their Freedom of Speech. This brutal atrocity took place on 21 February, 1952.

The original fortification wall on the south has five bastions at regular intervals, and the western wall has two. Among the seven bastions, the biggest one is near the main southern gate at the back of the stable, which occupies the area to the west of the gateway. The bastion has an underground tunnel. Among the five bastions of the southern fortification, the central one is single-storeyed, while the rest are double-storeyed structures. The central one contains an underground room with verandahs on three sides, and it can be approached either from the riverside or from its roof. The double-storeyed bastion at the southwestern corner of the fort is possibly a Hawakhana, with a water reservoir on its roof.

His family was devastated with the death of his father in 1908. At the young age of ten, Nazrul began working in his father's place as a caretaker to support his family, as well as assisting teachers in school. He later became the muezzin at the mosque, delivering the Athan and calling the people for prayer.

Construction of the reservoir for the hydro-electric plant began in 1956. As a result, 54,000 acres (220 km²) of farmland in the Rangamati District went under water and created the lake.

The hydro-electric project was funded by the United States. The project was finished in 1962. International Engineering Company and Utah International Inc. received the contract for construction of the dam. The dam is 670.6 meters long, and 54.7 meters high. The dam has a 745 feet (227 m) long spillway containing 16 gates. Through the spillway 5,250,000 cusec of water can pass every second

The rivers of Bangladesh mark both the physiography of the nation and the life of the people. About 700 in number, these rivers generally flow south. The larger rivers serve as the main source of water for cultivation and as the principal arteries of commercial transportation. Rivers also provide fish, an important source of protein. Flooding of the rivers during the monsoon season causes enormous hardship and hinders development, but fresh deposits of rich silt replenish the fertile but overworked soil. The rivers also drain excess monsoon rainfall into the Bay of Bengal. Thus, the great river system is at the same time the country's principal resource and its greatest hazard.
