Madan Mohan Malaviya |

1861-1946

Madan Mohan Malaviya combined in himself the orthodoxy of a Brahmin and the unquenchable spirit of a freedom-fighter. A tireless campaigner, he brought large sections of his countrymen into the national struggle. The Banaras Hindu University, founded in 1916, is the visible symbol of his devotion to education and approach to modernism. The Indian people conferred on him the affectionate title of "Mahamana." |

Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya was born in an orthodox Brahmin family in Allahabad in the present day state of Uttar Pradesh. Initiated in study of scriptures at a young age, he grew into a bright intellectual. He founded and edited two fiercely nationalistic weeklies called Hindustan (in Hindi) and The Indian Union (in English) and was responsible for spreading the awareness of freedom.
An eminent Congressman, Malaviya was the president of the Indian National Congress during 1909 and in 1918. He represented the whole of India with Mahatma Gandhi in the First Round Table Conference in 1931.
Malaviya popularized the famous slogan "Satyameva Jayathe" (Truth alone will win). Malaviya founded The Banaras Hindu Univeristy, which remains as a premier institution of learning in India today.

Pandit Maha Mana Madan Mohan Malviya was the one of the most knowledgeable person of the world. He was very religious by nature. He individually attented the 2nd Round table conference in London. The land on which BHU is established was given to him by King of KASHI. and I am so proud, because I belong to his family.

Panditji was a mirror of Indian Culture as well as a great son of Bharat Mata.

There are several criteria for judging an individual and one of them is the influence he has exercised on his fellowmen. Judging from this criterion Mahana is beyond the shadow of any doubt. One of the greatest and perfect man of all times.

It is a great site. More and more contributions must come to it. Kindly note that Indian Religion and Western education culminated in Pandit Madan Mohan Malavya ji and it led to the immortal contribution by establishing the Varanasi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya in the oldest living city of the of the world. Glory to Shri Malavyaji.

How sad that I was born the year he died and how wonderful to think that I matriculated in First Division from a newly established school Rajarhat Shikshaniketan, 24 Parganas (North) in 1961, exactly 100 years after his birth.
