"Before his time nearly all literary works in Bengali were in a certain poem-like manner (Shadhubhasha)." Shadhubhasaha has nothing do with the lack of Bengali prose. In fact Vidyasagar wrote in Shadhubhasha.--ppm 04:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

POV

This is a well written article full of POV. I happen to agree with most of it, but that's not the point--ppm 17:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Strongly biased language, (IMO) particularly in part about abuse of widows and sick being left on banks of Ganges to die. "Not allowed to eat fish....", what this stuff. Completely inappropriate and reflects great ignorance of Brahminical culture or deliberate bias against.67.124.33.81 00:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)ML

(IMO) Although the article sounds biased, I think it's supposed to highlight the brutal abuse some people inflicted on widows during the 19th century. Of course, the consumption of fish was not forbidden in Bengal due to the availability of it, but it was only for the male or higher classes and widows were not allowed to eat it, as they were treated inhumanely. Some places may have not prohibited this, but it was definitely not allowed everywhere, especially in orthodox or upper caste families.

References

Vidyasagar, meaning "Ocean of knowledge" is derived from the Sanskrit words Vidya (विद्या) meaning knowledge and Sagar (सागर) meaning ocean. Historically used as a name or a title for an important person.

Bengali does not have a native /v/ (labiodental) sound making Vidyasagar as Bidyasagar.
