Historical landmark for hazang tribe. Rash moni was considered as their mother. And was brutally kills in January 31, 1946 during procession (Tonk Andolon) between Hazang people and susong king.
My experience: During a rainy season i was visiting there. I can remember how beautiful this place is! Green field , village carpeting crowd free road, pin drop sound everything add some extra dimensions .
Way of visiting : Need to cross the river by boat And hire a motorcycle to reach the place.
Or,
Hire a boat from durgapur and visit the entire river . Hault your journey at kamarkhali bazar. And walk through the road.
I don't have any photograph due to bad weather .
Don't worry about the security issue. Villagers are very tourist friendly. Please conserve the nature. Are respect the village people.
It is a monument of the tribal culture. If you are visiting the clay mountain you have to take the road beside the monument. It is all about the protest against the barbarian ruler and the land the people used to cultivate. Roshimoni was killed in the protest and it symbolizes the farmers and their right for land.
On the way of BDR camp of Bijoypur, you’ll find a monument. This monument was built for remembering the courageous sacrifice of Hajong Roshimoni (হাজং রশিমনি). She was killed during the Tonk Andolon (টনক আন্দোলন). The GPS coordinate of the monument is (25° 9’27.72″N, 90°39’32.31″E).
That event was actually taking position against the barbarian ruler of that area. The Shushong King/Zamindar (সুসংগ রাজা/জমিদার) was the owner of all lands and local people were only allowed to cultivate there. They were forced to pay a portion from their crops, no matter how good or bad the harvest is. This cruel rule just crippled the farmers economically. So they have decided to stand against the ruler under the banner of Hajong Roshimoni (হাজং রশিমনি) who was later killed.
The monument is simple in design and may not be an attractive structure to you, but if you know the history behind, you may find this interesting. The book Bangladesher Krishoker Shongram (বাংলাদেশের কৃষকের সংগ্রাম) by Shotten Sen (সত্যেন সেন) has more detail about this courageous lady.
memorial of Hajong mother Rasimoni ,the leader of Tonk and agriculture movement .

Extra ordinary monument. This is very symbolic to the historical struggle for rights of the indigenous people against the occupiers. This is named after the martyr women leader 'Hajong Mata' Rashi Moni who not only mobilized her community people but also sacrifices her life in the movement against injustice and exploitation. This huge monument was build any government contribution. There should have a museum beside the monument which can visualize the great 'Tanko' rebellion against colonial ruler.
Nice , quiet place in the way to birishiri. A historic place.
