Contextually, the students of Grade V were assigned a project work to

Few historical personalities of my community

The father of Jagatman was a farmer. His father wanted him to study and
become an officer. But, during Rana rule in Nepal, ordinary people were

not allowed to go to school except Rana’s children. His father had got
martyrdom to throw out the Rana rule from Nepal. He was inspired by
his father very much. After the death of his father, Jagatman involved

himself in social work. He had renovated the school building. He had
also contributed to make a well and a temple in the village. He also had

donated his land close to our school before his death. Now, the same land
is use as a playground for the students. People always remember his good
contribution to the village. His name is on top of the stone inscription

placed at the school wall.

The next historical personality of my community is Brindadevi. She was a
religious a widow. Her husband died before she gives birth to a child. So,

she had opened an orphanage home. She loved the children as mother.
The children are having food, shelter, clothes there. They go to school.
But she died 17 years ago. People remember her good works of her to the

community especially for the poor and orphan children.

Late Bansiram is also a historical person. He had sacrificed his life during
the mass movement 2046 (Jana Aandolan-I). His contribution toward

bringing democracy had made him martyrs. It was a great sacrifice toward
the democracy and the nation. His family as well as the people of the
nation can be proud of him. We respect such personalities.
