 monument, place with historical importance, interesting place, place of worship

This monument was built for remembering the courageous sacrifice of Hajong Roshimoni(হাজং রশিমনি). She was killed during the Tonk Andolon(টনক আন্দোলন). That event was actually taking position against the barbarian ruler of that area. The Shushong King/Jomidar(সুসংগ রাজা/জমিদার) was the owner of all lands and local people were only allowed to cultivate there. They were forced to pay a portion from their crops, no matter how good or bad the harvest is. This cruel rule just crippled the farmers economically. So they have decided to stand against the ruler under the banner of Hajong Roshimoni(হাজং রশিমনি) who was later killed.
Its in Birisiri, Netrokona.
