Radhakanta Deb : ウィキペディア英語版 | Radhakanta Deb Radhakanta Deb (1784-1867) was a scholar and a leader of the Calcutta conservative Hindu society, the adopted son and heir of Maharaja Nabakrishna Deb. An accomplished scholar, Radhakanta was proficient in Sanskrit, Persian and Arabic. He published ''Shabda Kalpadruma'', a Sanskrit-Sanskrit language dictionary. Hara Kumar Tagore another contemporary Sanskrit scholar and scion of Tagore family had assisted him in compiling of ''Shabda Kalpadruma''.〔Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali, p. 611〕 He also wrote articles that were published in Ishwar Chandra Gupta's newspaper Sambad Prabhakar. Radhakanta Deb always showed marked interest in promoting education, particularly English education among the Hindus; he also advocated female education.〔 Despite his contribution to the cause of education, he was a strong upholder of social conservatism. Although ''sati'' was not practiced in his own family, he came forward to defend the custom when the Government contemplated its abolition. When Lord William Bentinck's government had finally abolished ''sati'' by a regulation in December, 1829, Radhakanta Deb, along with his conservative Hindu friends, was the leader a society called Dharma Sabha (founded by his father Gopi Mohun Deb), protested against this measure by presenting a petition to the Governor General on behalf of the orthodox section of the Hindu community. ==References==
