I personally know of a person who was not very privileged, was born in a very poor family and could not afford technical education. He however worked hard in his life and transformed his life and a large section of a society. He was a visionary, started off opening small educational centres of excellence, next proceeded to Technical Education, Engineering, Medical schools etc and built an empire of his own. To transform the lives of the underpriviledged,tribals,weaker sections of the society, he then gave free accomodation,food,healthcare and education from Class 1 to Post Graduation with vocational training. He is an established poitician now. He is a promoter of culture and arts, opened up spiritual centers,shrines, yoga and spiritualism.He is also a member of various national and international bodies in education space and has received many honours, awards and accolades from various national and international bodies. He is also a well known social worker and now known internationally. His name is Dr Achyuta Samanta, now a member of Parliament in India. His life is comparable to Thomas Paine as he is multi talented just like Thoms Paine and is a political activist, philosopher,politican theorist and a revolutionary. Just like Thomas Paine, he has transformed the lives of many people and a large section of a society and has been a revolutionary and visionary in different spheres of life.
