Question

Great people are born to produce an influence on society. One such personality, who was so humble and lived his
complete life with determination and purpose to achieve certain aims was Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. He was a great
social reformer, writer, educator and worked endlessly to transform the society. He strongly protested against polygamy
and child marriage. He favoured widow remarriage and women’s education in India. The Widow Remarriage Act was
passed in 1856 making the marriage of widows legal because of his efforts to solve these problems. Ishwar Chandra
Vidyasagar refined the way Bengali language was written and taught. His book ‘Borno Porichoy’ (Introduction to the
Alphabet) is still used as the introductory text to teach Bengali alphabet. Thus, he brought about a revolution in the
Bengali Education System. Vidyasagar is credited with the role of completely changing the old method of teaching
which prevailed in Sanskrit College. As a professor in Sanskrit College, he bought modern outlook into the method of
teaching. He included English and Bengali as mediums of learning, besides Sanskrit. He, also, introduced courses in
European History, Philosophy and Science alongside Vedic scriptures. He encouraged students to study these subjects
and make the best of both the worlds. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a strong advocate of women education. He
rightly viewed education as the primary way for women to achieve emancipation from the society’s oppression they had
to face at that time. He exercised his power to open schools for girls and even outlined suitable curriculum to educate
them. He went from door to door, requesting heads of families to allow their daughters to be enrolled in schools.
Ishwar Chandra was a man who defined his own path of action. He never listened to what others said about his work and
made decisions based on his own judgement. He was famous for all these qualities. He was also known for his great
courage. Vidayasagar had a very soft heart that sympathised with those in trouble. He was easily moved to tears when he
saw someone in pain and was always the first one to offer his help to colleagues and friends in distress. After his death,
Rabindranath Tagore said, “One wonders how God, in the process of producing forty million Bengalis, produced a
man!”
