Description
Introduce young readers, students, and history enthusiasts to the life of one of the greatest humanists, social reformers, and scholars in Indian history. Part of the inspiring biographical series published by Rupa Publications India, Legends and Legacies: The Biography of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar offers a deeply engaging and narrative look at a man whose relentless crusade for justice permanently reshaped the cultural and social landscape of India.
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar (1820–1891) was a towering pillar of the Bengal Renaissance, fearlessly carrying forward the torch of social reform lit by Raja Rammohan Roy. Renowned as a brilliant writer, philosopher, and academic, his vast erudition earned him the title Vidyasagar (Ocean of Knowledge) from the Sanskrit College in Calcutta. Yet, his true greatness lay in his boundless empathy for the marginalized and his uncompromising defense of human dignity.
This fast-paced, accessible biography focuses heavily on Vidyasagar's historic campaigns to elevate the status of women in India. It charts his monumental triumph in piloting the Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act of 1856, his fierce battles against polygamy, and his pioneering efforts to establish schools for girls at a time when female education was considered taboo.
