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 brought 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 judgment. He was
famous for all these qualities. He was also known for his great courage. Vidyasagar 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!"
