I went evening and found the place is nice and decent. Specially I would recommend take your kids , spend some time and tell our glorious history of 1971 infront of the monument and historical bottola place which is just few steps from aparajeyo bangla. Kids and young will carry this memory in their head for their life long.

Place of revolution. Place of starting a new journey for freedom.
Aparajeyo Bangla (Bengali: অপরাজেয় বাংলা) is one of the most well known sculptures dedicated to the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. It is located in the campus of Dhaka University, just in front of the Faculty of Arts Building. In Bengali, the phrase means "Unvanquished Bengal".
As an FBS student,I pass thru this monument everytime on my way to my faculty. It makes me feel proud every time I go past it or look at it.
"A place of love and history"

The sculpture work was started at the end of 1973 based on sculptor Syed Abdullah Khalid's design and superintendence of the DUCSU Authority. The Dainik Bangla news reporter Saleh Chowdhury came to visit the sculpture and wrote an article about it. The article illuminated the people of Bangladesh, so the sculptor is known all over the world. In that Article Saleh Choudhury named it as Aparajeyo Bangla and that has been established as permanent name later on by the university authority and the artist. Before Aparajeyo Bangla there was another 3 feet long sculpture, then DUCSU Authority broke down the sculpture and started to work on Aparajeyo Bangla project. Hasina Ahmed, Syed Hamid Maksood and Badrul Alam Benu, who are very close to Khalid, modelled for 'Aparajeyo Bangla'. The artist closely observed the models' personalities and his close association with them enabled him to do justice with his portrayal. In August 1975 Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was murdered so the Dackshu Authority stopped the Aparajeyo Bangla project. Political instability and the arrest of the then vice-chancellor of Dhaka University, Abdul Matin Chowdhury, also disrupted the work. The project remained incomplete till the end of 1978. In January 1979, some fundamentalist groups tried to demolish the Dackshu sculpture Authority. However, the project members and the students of Dhaka University fiercely guarded the work. After a long hiatus, the work began once more in December the beginning of 1979—with a new vision. At last the project work was finished on 16 December 1979. The sculpture was inaugurated by wounded freedom fighters.
I feel so proud for being a Bangladeshi. It's our pride to become winner in the quest of our mother language. It's very motivating for all Bangladeshi (old or young) and it remind us for our great history of past from 1952 to 1971. We like it the most. I love it very very much.
