WHO I AM ?
I AM TENZIN GYATSO, THE 14th DALAI LAMA
.
. 
I was born on 6 July 1935, and named Lhamo Thondup, to a poor family in the small village of Taktser in the province of Amdo.
I had two sisters and four brothers who survived their infancy. My elder brother Thupten Jigme Norbu was recognised as the reincarnation of a high lama, Taktser Rinpoche and my youngest brother, Tenzin Cheogyal was also recognized as the reincarnation of another high lama, Ngari Rinpoche.
In 1937 a mission sent out by the Tibetan government to search for the successor to the 13th Dalai Lama, who had died in 1933, felt led to me by signs and oracles. When they tested me, I correctly identified objects belonging to the 13th Dalai Lama, and a state oracle confirmed that I was the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lamas.
I was brought to Lhasa in 1939 where, on February 22, 1940, I was officially installed as spiritual leader of Tibet, though political rule remained in the hands of the regents and I took the name Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso.
Throughout World War II (1939-45), I was educated by some of the eminent scholars of the land. On November 17, 1950, due to the postwar pressures created by an expansive communist China, I was called upon to assume full political power (head of the State and Government) after some 80,000 Peoples Liberation Army soldiers invaded Tibet.
On May 23, 1951, under strong pressure, a Seventeen-Point 'Agreement' for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet was signed by the Government of the People's Republic of China and what they called the Local Government of Tibet. In 1954, he went to Beijing to talk peace with Mao Zedong and other Chinese leaders.
On March 10, 1959, General Jiang Qinwu, commander of Communist China troops extended a seemingly innocent invitation for me to attend a theatrical show by a Chinese dance troupe, but demanding that I come with no soldiers and that my bodyguards be unarmed., an acute anxiety befell the Lhasa populace. Soon a crowd of tens of thousands of Tibetans gathered around the Norbulingka Palace, determined to thwart any threat to their young leader's life.
As the Tibetan National Uprising was brutally crushed by the Chinese army, on 17 March 1959 morning, following oracle decision, disguised as a common soldier, with a small escort and my immediate family members I fled to India where I arrived on March 31 and was given political asylum. Some 80,000 Tibetan refugees followed me into exile. Since 1960, I has resided in Dharamsala, India, known as "Little Lhasa," the seat of the Tibetan Government-in-exile.
In 1963, I promulgated a democratic constitution based on Buddhist principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a model for a future free Tibet. Today, members of the Tibetan parliament are elected directly by the people.
In Strasbourg, France, on 15 June 1988, I elaborated the Five-Point Peace Plan and proposed the creation of a self-governing democratic Tibet, "in association with the People's Republic of China." But after Beijing refusal, it was declared invalid
I am the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West, where I seek to spread Buddhist teachings and to promote ethics and interfaith harmony. In 1989, I was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
I like to say "I am just a simple Buddhist monk - no more, nor less."

WHO I AM ?
I AM MUJIBUR RAHMAN, FATHER OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF BANGLADESH
.
. 
I was born on March 17, 1920, from a middle-class landowner in the province of Bengal of the then British India. I studied law and political science at the Universities of Calcutta and Dacca.
Although jailed briefly as a teenager for agitating for Indian independence, I began my formal political career as a cofounder of the Awami League in 1949, advocating political autonomy for East Pakistan, in what is known the Six-point Plan.
My arrest in the late 1960s under the military dictatorship, incited mob violence that eroded the Pakistani president’s authority in East Pakistan. In the elections of December 1970, the Awami League secured a majority of the seats in the National Assembly, but the president refused the result. So I demanded independence for East Pakistan in my historical March 7, 1971 speech and was again arrested
Troops from West Pakistan were sent to regain control of the eastern province but were defeated with the help of India. East Pakistan, renamed Bangladesh, was proclaimed an independent republic in 1971, and on January 10, 1972, recently released from prison, I came back and became the country’s first prime minister. With increasing problems, I took tighter control and assumed the presidency in January 1975.
On August 15, 1975, a group of junior army officers invaded the presidential residence with tanks and killed me, my family and the personal staff. Only my daughters Sheikh Hasina Wajed and Sheikh Rehana, who were on a visit to West Germany, were left alive.
My daughter Sheikh Hasina Wazed is the current Prime Minister

WHO I AM ?
I AM KAING GUEK EAV, KHMER ROUGE LEADER, KNOW AS COMRADE DUCH
.
. 
This picture has been taken when I was 17
I was born as Kang Kek Iew on November 17, 1942, of Chinese-Khmer ancestry
In 1964, I completed my Baccalaureate in mathematics, scoring second in the entire country. The same year, I began studying for my teaching certificate in Mathematics, a subject I loved, at the Institute of teaching which was a cradle of activism under the directorship of Son Sen who was later to emerge as the Defence Minister of the Khmer Rouge and my immediate superior. On August 28, 1966, I got my teaching certificate.
I joined the Communist Party of Kampuchea in 1967. A few months later, I was arrested and tortured by Norodom Sihanouk's police for engaging in communist activities. In 1970, when I was released, I joined the Khmer Rouge in the zone under their control and took on my nom de guerre Comrade Duch and became a prison commandant. I set up my first prison, code-named 'M-13', and two years later, I also established a second prison 'M-99'. Prisoners at these camps, mostly from the ranks of the Khmer Rouge, were routinely starved and tortured to extract real and made up confessions. Few prisoners left the camps alive.
After the Khmer Rouge victory in April 1975,with my men, I set up prisons throughout the capital including the infamous Tuol Sleng prison of which I became the director
By May 1976 all the prisons in Phnom Penh were consolidated and relocated to Tuol Sleng (S-21) created to cleanse the ranks of the Khmer Rouge of suspected enemies of the revolution. I impressed my superiors with my work and was appointed the head of Democratic Kampuchea's dreaded "special branch" - the Santebal.
On January 7, 1979 I was among the last Khmer Rouge cadres to flee Phnom Penh after it fell to the Vietnamese army. Though I was unable to destroy much of the prison's extensive documents, I saw to the execution of several surviving prisoners before I fled the city.
I reached the border with Thailand in May 1979 but was demoted by Brother Number Two, Nuon Chea, for having failed to destroy the documents at Tuol Sleng and taught English and Mathematics at a refugee camp in Borai just inside Thailand
In June 1986, I was sent to China to teach as a Khmer language expert at Beijing's Foreign Language Institute. He returned to the Thai-Cambodia border a year later and changed my name to Hang Pin. I worked as a senior bureaucrat just inside the Cambodian border at Pol Pot's secretariat at Camp 505. Shortly after the Paris agreement in October 1991, I moved with my family to a small isolated village called Phkoam close to the Thai border where I began teaching in the local school
In 1995, following an attack on my home that killed his wife, I secured a transfer to Svey Check College, and moved there with his children where I began attending the prayer meetings of the Golden West Cambodian Christian Church in Battambang, was baptized and became a lay pastor
When fighting broke out in 1996 following the split of the Khmer Rouge and the coup to oust Prince Ranarridh in 1997, I fled with my family to the Ban Ma Muang camp just inside Thailand. In late 1998, I returned to Cambodia and worrked closely with World Vision, the Christian relief agency.
In 1999, after my identity was discovered by western journalists, I surrendered to the authorities in Phnom Penh
On July 31, 2007, I was formally charged with crimes against humanity and detained by Cambodia's United Nations-backed Cambodia Tribunal. On February 16, 2009, my UN supervised trial began at a Phnom Penh court. I am charged "of personally overseeing the systematic torture of more than 15,000 prisoners"

WHO I AM ?
I AM WANG JINGWEI, WHO LED A PUPPET PRO-JAPANESE GOVERNMENT IN NANJING (1940-1944)
.
. 
I was born on May 4, 1883, Sanshui, Guangdong province, China.
I went to Japan as an international student sponsored by the Qing Empire government in 1903 and joined Tongmeng Hui in 1905. I was jailed in 1910 for plotting an assassination of Regent Zaifeng. I was released the following year, after the republican revolution. After that I studied in France until 1917, when I became personal assistant to Sun Yat-sen
After Sun's death in 1925, I chaired the party while Chiang Kai-shek allied with the communists in the Northern Expedition against China's warlords. I was a member of the left wing of the Kuomintang, but not a communist. Chiang and I vied for party control. My faction had set up a new KMT capital at Wuhan in early 1927, but we had not enough support and money and failed. In 1930, I tried another abortive coup against Chiang. In an uneasy truce, I served as premier (1932–35) and deputy leader of the Kuomintang (1938) while Chiang headed the military.
In late 1938, I left Chongqing for Hanoi, French Indochina, where I stayed for three months. During this time, I was wounded in an assassination attempt by KMT agents. I then flew to Shanghai, where I entered negotiations with Japanese authorities. On March 30, 1940, I became head of state of the Japanese puppet Central China government based in Nanjing serving as the President of the Executive Yuan and Chairman of the National Government.
I died on November 10, 1944 while undergoing medical treatment in Nagoya, Japan. I was buried in Nanjing near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, in an elaborately-constructed tomb. Soon after Japan's defeat, the Kuomintang government under Chiang Kai-shek moved its capital back to Nanjing, destroyed my tomb, and burned my body. Today the site is commemorated with a small pavilion that notes me as a traitor. I am therefore deemed as one of most infamous "Traitors of the Han people”

WHO I AM ?
I am Nam Phuong, the last empress of Vietnam (1914-1963)
.
. 
I was born Marie-Thérèse Nguyen Huu Thị Lan in the French colony of Cochinchina on December 14, 1914 in a Catholic family. A naturalized French citizen, known as Mariette, I studied at the Convent des Oiseaux, a fashionable Catholic school located in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, where I was sent at the age of 12
On March 9, 1934, the public announcement of my engagement with Bao Dại, King of Annam was made. The king married me on March 20, 1934, in Hue. The ceremony was Buddhist, though I was a Catholic and continued to be. At the state ceremony that marked the end of the four-day wedding festivities, I was given the title Imperial Princess and renamed Nam Phương, which means Southern Perfume, in acknowledgment of my place of birth.
On 18 June 1945, I was raised in rank from Her Majesty to Her Imperial Majesty. I also was granted the title of empress, my husband having assumed the title of emperor after proclaiming the country's independence from France.
In 1947, after the Communist takeover of the country, with five children I moved to Château Thorens, outside of Cannes, France, which had been in the family since its purchase by my maternal grandfather in the early 20th century
I separated from my husband in 1955. Two years later, when the Vietnamese government announced its confiscation of the imperial family's personal property, the bill specifically excluded any real estate I owned prior to 1949. These properties included my father's villa at Dalat, which is now Lam Dong Museum
I died on September 16, 1963 from a heart attack, at Domaine de La Perche, my home near the small rural village of Chabrignac, Corrèze, France. I was buried in the local cemetery
