Parag Das - A Lifestory

The person was more than just a news writer; they were a voice for those who could not speak, a light of truth in a world full of darkness. As a well known human rights helper, their work was like the movie "Rang De Basanti," pushing people to ask questions and fight for what is right. Born on 24 February 1961, and sadly killed on 17 May 1996, their life, though not long, made a big mark on Assam and the world. They bravely wrote about human rights issues, especially during the hard times of the ULFA fight. "They were a person of strong beliefs," a coworker once said, pointing out how they always tried to find the truth, no matter what. Their writings, often in the 'Asomiya Pratidin,' went against the powerful and gave hope to those in need. The person's work for change was not just about writing. They joined movements for peace and justice, standing with those hurt by violence. Their brave stand, like the main characters in movies like "The Killing Fields," made them a target. Even with threats, they never gave up on their promise to help human rights. Their story still pushes activists and news writers today, reminding them to speak the truth, even when it is hard. They are still a symbol of bravery, honesty, and strong care for justice.
