Paragraph | Your Favourite Personality (Zahir Raihan) | For Class 9-12

Your Favourite Personality

Everybody imitates his or her favourite personality to build up his/her own dream, career and personality. I have also my favourite personality. He is Zahir Raihan. Though I have not seen him in real life as I belong to the post Liberation War generation. I have read many things about him. His contribution to our Liberation War has enthralled me. He was born on 19 August 1935 in the village of Majupur, in Feni district. He was an active worker of the language movement. While he was a student he joined the procession of our language movement despite a ban on such activities. Though he was arrested several times for such kind of activities, his spirit never faded. He took an active part in the mass movement in 1969. In 1971, he joined the Liberation War. His dream of a free country always inspired me. He made films on real incidents highlighting the savagery of the Pakistan army and made people well aware of our great sacrifice in the Liberation War. Very unfortunately this great intellectual and patriotic hero was captured and killed after the independence. His dream, personality, uncompromising spirit always inspire me. Hence, he is my favourite personality, it is my unadulterated belief that his personality is really imitative to the present generation.
