What it takes to be a successful person not in
terms of just money or some powers but by winning hearts of the people and
doing something for them which will improve their life or improve the society,
lets talk about few of them who worked so hard and tried to change their
society. From Pakistan the one I would like to talk about is Quaid-e-Azam
Mohammad Ali Jinnah was one such hero. He was a lawyer, politician and founder
of Pakistan and gave a thought that there should a country who will be
identified as a Muslim majority and thus formed Pakistan and his birthday is
celebrated as a national holiday. He was the first Governor-General of Pakistan
and after giving independence from the Britishes he died at an age of 71 in
1948 and is considered as the greatest Pakistani’s leader.
Next we will discuss about India who have many
great hands behind getting freedom from the British rule and one such great
personality was Mahatma Gandhi who believed in nonviolence and inspired many of
the young souls from that time to fight for Independence and after his many
efforts India got Independence in 1947 after calling “Chhodo Bharat” because of
the heavy taxes that were applied by the Britishes on salt and also began Dandi
Salt March and because of this he got imprisoned for many years. He was
assassinated by Nathuram Godse an Indian nationalist on 30th January 1948 by
firing three bullets into his chest which result in a sudden death. He is also
famous as Bapu and was born and brought up in Porbandar in Gujarat.
Now we will discuss about China which is the
world’s most famous and populated country but it has many heroes which helped
their country in every other way and one of them was The Great General Yue Fei
which is not only famous for his military success but also for his high ethical
standards. China was attacked by the invaders from the north by the Jurchens
and he has to make a tough decision of whether to go for the battle against the
invaders or to look after his mother. To encourage him his mother wrote behind
his back some encouraging words jing zhong bao guo- “Serve the country
loyally.” He then went to the battlefield with around 500
men and remain undefeated against 100,000 Jurchen soldiers and forcing them to
go back. He is still remembered as one of the heroes of China.
The one from Africa is Nelson Mandela who was a
leader and an armed resistance who fought against discrimination against white
and black which landed to a prison for almost 3 decades and after releasing
became the first president for the blacks and remained a devoted champion
throughout his life. Talking about Europe Napoleon Bonaparte was a French
leader who was also associated in military and in the French Revolution too
along with this he also participated in European wars.
