In pictures: Wings of remembrance
The Rajshahi University Martyred Intellectuals Memorial stands proudly in the western part of the university. In 1971, during the prolonged nine-month Liberation War, numerous innocent individuals from various parts of Rajshahi were brought here and killed. This monument serves as a tribute to honour the memory of those martyred intellectuals.

Officially inaugurated in December 2004, the memorial is flanked by Powder Puff (Calliandra haematocephala) flower trees, creating a haven for diverse bird species. Over the years, these trees have turned into a sanctuary where birds, including the vibrant purple color sunbird and purple-rumped sunbird, adorn the area when the flowers bloom. The Daily Star's Mostafa Shabuj captured the mesmerising moments recently.
