$<body bgcolor = "light green"> <fontcolor = "red">Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar CIE (26 September 1820 – 29 July 1891),[1] born Ishwar Chandra Bandyopadhyay (Ishshor Chôndro Bôndopaddhae), was a Bengali educator and social reformer from the Indian subcontinent, and a key figure of the Bengal Renaissance.[2][3] His efforts to simplify and modernise Bengali prose were significant. He also rationalised and simplified the Bengali alphabet and type, which had remained unchanged since Charles Wilkins and Panchanan Karmakar had cut the first (wooden) Bengali type in 1780. He is considered the "father of Bengali prose".[4]Ishwar Chandra VidyasagarIshwar Chandra VidyasagarIshwar Chandra VidyasagarBornIshwar Chandra Bandopadhyay26 September 1820Birsingha, Bengal Presidency, British India(now in West Bengal, India)Died29 July 1891 (aged 70)Calcutta, Bengal Presidency, British India(now Kolkata, West Bengal, India)OccupationEducator and social reformerLanguageBengaliAlma materSanskrit College (1828-1839)Literary movementBengal RenaissanceSpouseDinamayee DeviChildren1He was the most prominent campaigner for Hindu widow remarriage and petitioned Legislative council despite severe opposition and a counter petition against the proposal with nearly four times more signatures by Radhakanta Deb and the Dharma Sabha.[5][6] But Lord Dalhousie personally finalised the bill despite the opposition and it being considered a flagrant breach of Hindu customs as prevalent then and the Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act, 1856 was passed.[7][8]He received the title "Vidyasagar" (in Sanskrit Vidya means knowledge and Sagar means ocean, i.e., Ocean of Knowledge) from Sanskrit College, Calcutta (from where he graduated), due to his excellent performance in Sanskrit studies and philosophy.
