Shahid Buddhijibi Graveyard or Martyr Intellectuals' Graveyard is the place were the the remains of intellectuals who were murdered 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.
After the victory over Pakistan, the Bangladesh government turned the place at Mirpur where the decomposed bodies of the martyr intellectuals were found.

Noted intellectuals who were killed between 25 March and 16 December 1971 in different parts of the country included Govinda Chandra Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU), Munier Chowdhury (Litterateur, dramatist, Professor at DU), Mufazzal Haider Chaudhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Anwar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (ophthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (Professor of Mathematics, RU), Sukhranjan Somaddar (Professor of Sanskrit, RU), Mir Abdul Quaiyum (Professor of Psychology, RU), Dhirendranath Datta (politician), Ranadaprasad Saha (philanthropist), Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier), Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer), and many others.
Design and Construction of the Memorial:
In 1993, the Government of Bangladesh decided to erect a memorial at the site of this barbarous act. The Ministry of Housing and Works Department and the Institute of Architects Bangladesh jointly organised a national level architectural competition for the design of the memorial Badhya Bhumi Smriti Soudha. Out of 22 entries the jurors selected the design proposal of Architect Farid Uddin Ahmed and Architect Md Jami-al-Shafi. Public Works Department was responsible for the implementation of the project and its completion took about three years (1996 to 1999). A square grid of 15.24m by 15.24m has divided the whole site of 3.51 acre. The main platform is raised 2.44m above the street level.
Design Significance of Martyred Intellectual Memorial[edit]
The main element of the monument is the 17.68m high, 0.91m thick and 115.82m long curved brick wall, representing the original brickfield of Rayer Bazar where the dead bodies were found. The wall itself is broken at the two ends, demonstrating the depth of grief and sorrow. A 6.10m by 6.10m square window at the south-west side of the wall permits visitor's view to reach the sky behind, that also scale down the immense wall. In front of the curved wall is a still water body from which rises a black granite column, which represents grief.

১৯৭১ এর ডিসেম্বর মাসে স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধের শেষ পর্যায়ে এসে পাকিস্তান বাহিনী যখন বুঝতে শুরু করে যে তাদের পক্ষে যুদ্ধে জেতা সম্ভব না, তখন তারা নবগঠিত দেশকে সাংস্কৃতিক, সামাজিক ও শিক্ষাগত দিক থেকে দূর্বল এবং পঙ্গু করে দেয়ার জন্য পরিকল্পনা করতে থাকে। সেই পরিকল্পনা অনুযায়ী ১৪ ডিসেম্বর রাতে পাকিস্তানী বাহিনী দেশের শ্রেষ্ঠ সন্তানদের নিজ নিজ গৃহ হতে তুলে এনে নির্মম নির্যাতনের পর হত্যা করে। এই পরিকল্পিত গণহত্যাটি বাংলাদেশের ইতিহাসে বুদ্ধিজীবী হত্যাকাণ্ড নামে পরিচিত।
উক্ত স্মৃতিসৌধটি স্থপতি মোঃ জামী আল সাফী এবং স্থপতি ফরিদ উদ্দীন আহমেদ এর নকশায় নির্মিত। নান্দনিক নকশায় নির্মিত এই স্মৃতিসৌধটি গৃহায়ন ও গণপূর্ত মন্ত্রাণালয়ের অধীনে রয়েছে। এখানে পর্যটকরা এসে অতীতের কথা জানতে পারে।
When the Pakistan army came to the end of the war of liberation in December 1971, when they realized that they could not win the war, they started planning for the newly formed country to be weak and crippled in cultural, social and educational aspects. According to the plan, on 14 December night, Pakistani forces brought out the best children of the country from their respective homes and killed them after ruthless torture. This planned genocide is known in the history of Bangladesh as the killing of intellectuals.
The memorial was built by architect Md Jami al-Safi and architect Farid Uddin Ahmed. This auspicious monument is under the aesthetic design and is under the Housing and Public Works Ministry. Here tourists come to know about the past.
