On August 5, 2020, an unprecedented incident took place in post- independence India. For the first time, a prime minister of the country had laid the foundation stone of a religious temple. It was Ram Mandir in Ayodhya amidst Corona scare. It was to raise Hindutva hype for a political purpose. It is not unusual for the prime minister or the present government itself, though they have managed to forget many other things, and among those is the celebration of bi-centenary of Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. The title Vidyasagar means an ocean of learning and it was the honour he was awarded in his lifetime itself.
