The big orange disk, probably representing the rising sun of dawn, behind the Shaheed Minar (Dhaka)as seen in the Wiki picture was not part of the original Shaheed Minar nor any part of its creator sculptor Hamidur Rahman's design. It was added much much later by others, in the 1980s or 1990s I think. This addition is controversial, and is opposed by some. The critics consider it to be a distortion of the true spirit of this monument. Besides, the original Shaheed Minar was all white (signifying a state of mourning, I think) -- there were no colours or embellishments, as they are seen nowadays and in the picture (the orange disk and the colours take away the spirit of mourning and gives it a completely opposite air, in my opinion at least). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monmajhi (talk • contribs)

The orange disk is a decoration added during special occasions, for example the 21st February Language movement day. True, it is not part of the original design. Nor is it a permanent fixture. We are not bound to show the Shaheed Minar without any festive decorations. Anyway, this was the *only* properly licensed image that could be found. No other image on the web could be added under Creative commons or GFDL. I personally mailed the photographer (Karl Roehl) to get permission to use this image. If you can come up with a better picture with proper license, you are welcome. Thanks. --Ragib 21:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

controversies about date

There is controversy about the date in which Shaheed Minar was first created.Some say it was built in the very first day of police firing that is February 21.But in his book "Bhasha Andoloner Itihash" Bashir Al Helal did not accept that and proved that day is actually February 23 when the first Shaheed Minar was built.His claim is acceptable because the main planner of first Shaheed Minar also suggested that date.The Daily Azad also published about Shaheed Minar on February 25 which also support that it was actually built on Februay 23 and NOT February 21.

Rename to Kendriyo Shohid Minar

I would like the page to be renamed to Kendriyo Shohid Minar or Central Martyr's Monument. If anyone can look into this? বব২৬ (talk) 08:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
