    It's the biggest graveyard of Asia. However, after you place a grave you have to pay people here so that the grave is looked after. Also, there have been reports that they were overcharging. However, that's really shameful to extract more money over corpses.

    Shahid Buddhijibi Graveyard or Martyr Intellectuals' Graveyard is the place were the the remains of intellectuals who were killed by Pakistan Army and their collaborators in 1971.

    During the Liberation War of Bangladesh the retreating Pakistan army, certain of their defeat, chalked out a heinous plan to eliminate the Bengali intelligentsia.

    Killing of Intellectuals was one of the most brutal and savage carnages in the history of Bangladesh. It was a planned killing of the Bangali intellectuals- educationists, journalists, literateurs, physicians, scientists, lawyers, artists, philosophers and political thinkers - executed by a group of collaborators under the directive and guidance of the Pakistani military rulers during the war of liberation in 1971. The blue print of crippling the intelligentsia is said to have been chalked out by Major General Rao Farman Ali, the military adviser to the governor of East Pakistan. The armed cadres of al-badr, a para-military force, is alleged to have executed the brutal killing having been provided with arms and support by the Pakistan army.

    The killing of the intellectuals virtually began with the army crackdown in Dhaka on the night of 25 March, and continued till the surrender of the Pak-army on 16 December 1971. The act of killing was initiated in Dhaka and gradually spread over the whole of East Pakistan especially in the district and subdivisional towns. The brutality and killing took a serious turn especially in Dhaka during the days preceding the surrender of the Pak army, particularly on 14 December, the day now commemorated as Shaheed Buddhijibi Hatya Dibash (Martyred Intellectuals Day).

    The killers used to abduct and carry away the targetted victims from their houses in gestapo style to particular camps or spots very often covering their face with black cloth. They mostly took advantage of curfew in the city and kidnapped the victims. The victims were physically tortured, brutaly killed mostly by indiscriminate bayonet charges. The main spots of execution in Dhaka city were the marshy land at Rayerbazar near Mohammadpur and another at Mirpur, where a huge number of dead bodies were found scattered in the ditches, plains and inside the heaps of bricks. The dead bodies, eyes covered and hands tied, were found wounded and swelled all over their bodies and bullet shots on the chest, head or back.

    The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationists 991, journalists 13, physicians 49, lawyers 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16.

    Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built in memory of the martyred intellectuals of the Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial is located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka.[1] The memorial was designed by architect Farid U Ahmed and Jami Al Shafi.[2][3][4] The initial proposal for a memorial at Rayer Bazar was brought forward by Projonmo 71 (organisation of the children of the martyrs of liberation war), who also laid a temporary foundation stone in 1991.

    আমাদের গৌরবের কৃতি সন্তানদের নির্মম ভাবে হত্যা করে বাংগালী জাতীর মেরূদন্ড ভেঙে দেয়ার মতই কাজ করে ছিল অন্ধকার বাহীনি।
    যার দরূন সাক্ষী এ শহীদ মিনার।

    Pakistani militaries wanted to fully destroy the potentiality of Bangladesh. To fulfill this moto they have killed a huge number of great sons of Bangladesh. This monument is made to show respect to them and the grave yard is for them also.
