Brief
Jagroto Chowrangi’ (The Vigilant Crossroad), a 18 feet high concrete piece on a 24 feet pedestal which is placed at the Joydevpur cross-road. One of most remarkable sculpture is a memorial to the valiant retaliation by Bengali soldiers against the brutal genocide unleashed on 25th March by the Pakistan Army. This was designed by Abdur Razzaque who was among the few talented and dedicated students of the Government Institute of Arts who played a pioneering role in the development of the modern western style of painting in Bangladesh. The monument shows a brave freedom fighter facing the aggressors with a rifle in one hand and a grenade in the other. Although the figure is basically realistic, there is some stylization in the form of exaggeration. This important outdoor piece installed in a public space added a whole new dimension to the art of sculpture in Bangladesh.
