Q. Who, among the following, started the newspaper Shame Prakash ?
(1) Dayanand Saraswati
(2) Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar
(3) Raja Rammohan Roy
(4) Surendranath Banerjee
Ans. (2)
Exp. Shome Prakash, the first Bengali political paper was published by Dwarka Nath Vidyabhusan in 1858 at Calcutta. But Shome Prakash newspaper was published by lswar Chandra Vidyasagar in 1898. Born in 1820 in Bengal, Vidyasagar's contribution is many sided. He worked for the upliftment of women. His efforts led to the Act of Widow Remarriage (1856). After it Vidyasagar continued his reform movement, directing it against polygamy and later child marriage and finally secured an age of consent Act in 1860 and fixed the age of consent for the consummation of marriage at 10 years for women. It was raised to 12 by another legislation in 1891; but as census statistics show, child marriage continued to be a widely practised social custom among all the castes, high and low alike, well into the 20th century. After 1870, Bengal was at its peak, so far as reform movement was concerned; it was western and southern India, which were to see more activity in this direction.
