Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy (1861 AD - 1944 AD)
He was born on August 2, 1861 in the village of Raruli in the present day Khulna district of Bangladesh. He was equally proficient in at least seven languages - Bengali, English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and Urdu.Prafulla Chandra was admitted to the boys' school made by Babur. He grew up in the school yard for nine years. Then the boy has to be sent to Calcutta to teach. Towards the end, Harishchandra moved to Calcutta with his family in 1870 AD. In the great fire of the frantic consciousness of the Swadeshi movement. They came to a house at 132 Camac Street.
Grandfather Gyanendra was admitted to a Hindu school. Mejda Nalinikanta and Prafulla Ellen Hare. Prafullar, the teenager of that day, did not like to sit within the four walls. However, he did not neglect his studies at all. Gradually he felt the kind of pull towards the book. Sometimes he would wake up at night and read a book. Nice to read Newton's biography. Tears welled up in his eyes as he listened to the story of Galileo's social persecution. And loved to read Shakespeare's plays.If you want to get him soon as a result of studying at night. Thus he was sick and weak. He was afflicted with indigestion due to terrible irregularities. The persecution of the disease reached so far that Harishchandra no longer had the confidence to keep this boy in Calcutta. He took her to Raduli village. Then he was a fourth class student of Hair School.
This is the familiar field, the familiar environment! Thirteen-year-old Prafulla came here and breathed his last. This time there is no more violence, no more stealing mangoes, there has been a huge change in the character of Prafulla. There were numerous books in the house. Father's collection. This time he drowned in the kingdom of that book. Rajendralal Mitra's 'Bibidharath Collection', 'Shakespeare's Drama', how many more!He returned to Calcutta after spending a year and a half at his village home. That was in 1874. He no longer had a place at Hair School, this time at Albert School. From here he finally passed the entrance examination in 1879 AD. Passed the first division, but the result was not as expected. The masters thought that Prafulla Chandra would take the first or second place in that examination.
The entrance hall is like the present secondary. This time the high school will have to be admitted. Back then it was called FA or First Arts. He was admitted to the 'Metropolitan Institution' established by Vidyasagar.Prafulla Chandra's acquaintance with chemistry came in college. He is anxious to know what is made by mixing one thing with another. What a mysterious smell in chemistry. Intoxication takes hold in the mind.The results of the FA test in 1880 AD are even worse. He passed the second division.Meanwhile, the father's financial situation is getting worse. Land has to be sold. The property that was bought by selling the mother's jewelry also had to be sold. Dad's face is always thumping. Prafulla Chandra, the young man of that day, saw his mother crying in secret.
Meanwhile, he was admitted in BA class. It was not good to ask my father for money. Harishchandra had already done a job. He printed the Sanskrit-English dictionary at his own expense. But due to lack of publicity, the book did not sell well. The house was dyed. They were occasionally sold at the price of old paper.
Scotland is located in the north of England. Its capital is Edinburgh. The university there conducted a scholarship examination. This news reached the ears of the meritorious student Prafulla. If you pass that exam, you can study for free at the world famous university. Prafulla Chandra further learned that in order to pass this exam, one needs to have proficiency in more than one language. In addition to English, you need to learn Latin, Sanskrit, Greek, French or German. He knows Sanskrit well. He also learned Latin. He applied for the exam with hope.According to Statesman, only two candidates have been elected from India, Prafulla Chandra being one of them. Friends were surprised!
The urge to go abroad continued. August 182. Prafulla Chandra, a young man of 21 years, became a passenger of the ship. The name of the ship is 'California'. He became very ill during the voyage. His sea sickness can be seen.
He was admitted to the BSc class at the University of Edinburgh. He studied chemistry, physics and zoology. This time no more cheating. Famous scientist used to teach chemistry in class. C. Brown. Prafulla Chandra listened to his speech with fascination.The test came to the fore. One thing before the test made him very excited.School authorities announced a competition for essay writing. The theme was - 'State of India before and after the Sepoy Rebellion'.Prafulla Chandra, a young man from subjugated India, danced. This time the opportunity has been found. We have to show how the British government is exploiting Indians.
It is true that Prafulla's essay did not win the award, but the way he exposed the tyrannical British government was appreciated by all for his honest courage. No one from England could have imagined that the British government could be accused in this way. He wrote directly accusing the arbitrary British authorities of introducing new art laws without heeding public opinion - 'England has so far failed miserably and miserably failed in its duty to India!'
Writing about how India is being exploited by the oppressive British, Prafulla Chandra said, "Today you will go to war with New Zealand, tomorrow with China. This is your war with Egypt, with that Afghan. And you have to bear the burden of that sin, ignorance, delusion, my sad India. This is wrong, this is gross injustice! 'He wrote the article in English. He copied this article and sent it to various prominent people there.
He passed the B.Sc. examination in 185 AD. Then he got the degree of 'Doctor of Science'. That is why the basic essay or thesis has to be submitted. His thesis was considered the best. He received the glorious Hope Award.After returning to India from abroad, Prafulla Chandra continued to develop his talent in various ways. Has done multiple timeless researches in the field of chemistry. It was through his diligent initiative and activities that the Presidency developed a state-of-the-art laboratory. He also set up 'Bengal Chemical'. It is the first chemical and pharmaceutical factory in India. He has been trying to establish a new ideology in front of the lifeless Bengali youth. His only dream was to bring the Bengalis back to their homeland. He thought that at one time the Bengali youth occupied the first place in all of India in bravery and semen. Today the devaluation of Bengal has started. As long as he continues to encourage and stimulate them in this way.
The great scientist died on June 16, 1944. Rising above all contemporary superstitions, he has become a living legend. Our country is really Ratnaprasabini, otherwise a great scientist like Prafulla Chandra is born!
