Answers
Answer:
Ishwar Chandra Bandyopadhyay was born on 26 September 1820 in midnapore. Thakurdas Bandyopadhyay and Bhagabati Devi were his parents. Ishwar came of a very poor family but he was very intelligent. He had his primary education at village pathsala. Then he came to Calcutta and was admitted to Sanskrit College. He passed the Final Examination with great credit and became known as ‘Vidyasagar’ for his profound knowledge. He did an excellent job in simplifying and modernizing some Bengali prose. He also contributed in rationalizing the Bengali alphabet and type which was not changed since Charles Wilkins and Panchanan Karmakar were involved in cutting the first Bengali type. Because of this contribution throughout his life, he is considered as the “Father of Bengali Prose”. He was also a campaigner for Hindu remarriage, for which he also filed a petition in the court. He believes that education is the power that one needs to survive in this world, and he was the living example of this. He also supported girl child education and inaugurated schools in different areas so that girls can enhance their education and stand along with men. He died on 29 July 1891 in kolkata.
