Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar CIE, born Ishwar Chandra Bandyopadhyay, is an Indian social reformer and educator. His efforts to simplify and modernize the culture of Bengali prose have been remarkable. He also streamlined and simplified the Bengali alphabet and font, which have not changed since Charles Wilkins and Panchanan Karmakar cut the first Bengali font in 1780. He is considered "the father of Bengali prose". He was the most famous activist for the remarriage of Hindu widows and petitioned the Legislature despite strong opposition and a petition against the proposal in numbers. Signed more than four times that of Radhakanta Deb and Dharma Sabha. But Lord Dalhousie personally finalized the bill despite the objection and it was seen as a flagrant violation of Hindu customs still in effect at the time and the Hindu Widows' Remriage Act, five in 1856, was passed. He was awarded the title "Vidyasagar" from the College of Sanskrit, Calcutta, for his outstanding achievements in the studies and philosophy of Sanskrit.
