Instead of supporting his efforts, they often stood as obstacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs \u003cstrong\u003eRabindranath Tagore\u003c\/strong\u003e once remarked:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"That is why Vidyasagar was unique in Bengal.

He was a man who \u003cstrong\u003enever placed individual identity above social responsibility\u003c\/strong\u003e.
