Pandita Ramabai
Introduction: ‘Pandita Ramabai’ was a social worker, scholar and a champion of women’s’ rights, freedom and education. ‘Pandita’ was the title bestowed on her excellent command over Sanskrit at a very young age.
She was born on 23rd April, 1858. Her parents were Anant Shastri Dongare and Lakshmibai.
Early life: After the demise of her parents in the jungles of Karnataka, young Ramabai and her brother had to face the hardship of poverty. They had to come to a place of human habitation. On reaching Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1878, she decided to dedicate her life for the cause of distressed women. She lectured on Sanskrit literature and Indian philosophy. She was a big draw at the meetings.
After a while her brother died and the young Ramabai was left in the world all alone. A reformer to the core, she married Bipin Bihari Medhavi, a shudra, M.A. and law graduate. Burt luck seemed to be still unkind to her. Medhavi died on cholera suddenly and she was left with a babe in arms – Manorama.
Her marriage to an untouchable had antagonized all her relatives. They shut the doors of help to her. But she was undeterred. She went to Poona and started writing articles and giving lectures on woman’s education. She met the stalwarts championing this cause like Ranade, Kelkar, Bhandarkar and others.
