Background and description

"I felt that besides Shaheed Minar, there is no other significant monument that symbolizes our language movement. There should be. Thus, I sculpted the monument 'Shaheed Janani O Gorbito Bornomala'."

Mrinal Haque wanted to erect another significant sculpture on the theme of language movement. He felt that there should be another monument besides Shaheed Minar on such theme.[4] The symbol of the sculpture is the sacrifice of the mother and child and the struggle for the independence of Bangladesh.[6]

A mother in despair holding the body of her in her arms is depicted as a symbolic protest. The sculpture Mother and Child is surrounded by two red and green circles. Red-green circles symbolize the flag of Bangladesh; As well as the red color is a symbol of sacrifice and blood and the green color is a symbol of peace and life. In front of the sculpture there are a few Bengali alphabets in a green circle. Behind the red circle are '21' in Bengali. The sculpture is 16 feet high and has Bengali alphabet and numbers.[7]
