Ishwar Chandra was born on 28 September, 1820 in a village named Birsingha in Midnapore district of Bengal. His father was Thakurdas Bandyopadhyay, and his mother was Bhagwati Devi. ‘Vidyasagar’ is an academic title in Sanskrit, meaning ‘the Ocean of Learning’, which used to be awarded to the outstanding scholars by the Government Sanskrit College of Calcutta. Out of the few learned men of repute, the term ‘Vidyasagar’ is generally referred to by the people of India for only one person who is Pandit Ishwar Chandra, whose surname is ‘Bandyopadhyay’. Thus, Vidyasagar has, in course of time, become his personal name.
