Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya was a staunch supporter of Hindu culture and civilization. His contribution to India’s freedom struggle, as well as to education has been significant. The establishment of Benaras Hindu University is the result of his untiring efforts. It is interesting that while collecting funds for the university, he approached even Maharajas, Rajas, rulers and landlords who did not subscribe to his views and yet, strangely, they all contributed open-heatedly and willingly for his cause. None dared refuse him, so appealing was his approach and so convincing were his reasons for a donation.
Madan Mohan Malviya belonged to a poor family. He was born on 25 December 1861. He was a bright student. After graduating in 1891, he joined law but later jumped into the arena of freedom struggle. It is ironic but true that he was loved by both Indian masses and British officers.
Mr Malviya was an Indian to the backbone. He subscribed to the Indian culture and kept his ideas intact all his life. He gained name and fame because of the work he did for social, ethical and educational upliftment. He is called Maharnana and is loved by all. For the poor, he had special feelings. Dressed in immaculate Khaddar Pyjama-Kurta and a head-gear, his image remains ever in the hearts of the people. Unfortunately he died in 1946 — a year before India got independence.
