Eshwer Chandra Vidyasagar is a well-known freedom fighter of his time. Here is an example from his life showing the humanity in him.
One day , Eshwer Chandra Vidyasagar was going to a marriage ceremony with his mother.There  he saw many ladies showing their jewellary and saree to each other. But his mother was not having all of those. So, disturbed by this, he asks his mother for the reason. Then , mother replied she dont believe in all those jewellary.
Eshwer asks with his mother , "What type of jewellary you want?" . Then mother listed out her preferences like this----
1. A school for poor children of village.
2. A hospital for the needy in village.
3. A lunch home for the people who are hungry.
Eshwer Chandra Vidyasagar vowed to fulfill his mother's ambitions. And he succeded in that.
One day , some one asked him about the inspiration behind the useful works. Then , Eshwer chandra vidyasagar replied "I just fulfilled my mother's desire." From these words itself, we can make out the strong support and good lesson  his mother had given him.

  1. Great nice story. Yes, mothers are our FIRST GURU AND a mother can make her child /shape the future by her best teachings. My mother was such simple person, though had just passed 5th std only, had ample vision and great love for all. MATRU DEVOBHAVA
