Language Martyr Abdus Salam's Village

Abdus Salam, one of the martyrs shot in Dhaka on 21 February 1952 while protesting for Bangla as a state language, was born in a village of Daganbhuiyan upazila in Feni. The village, now renamed Salamnagar, has a memorial library and museum in his honour. Visiting on or around 21 February, International Mother Language Day, shows how deeply the movement is remembered locally.

Good to know

On 21 February, join locals laying flowers early in the morning; dress respectfully.
