Born in a Parmar Kshatriya family that converted to Jainism and the Oswal caste that originated in Ranthambore. When Ranthambor was besieged by Allauddin Khilji in the 13th century, the family moved several times, first to Ahmedabad, then Champaner and finally Khambat. One of the family line, Amar Datt, gifted Shah Jahan a diamond and received the title of ''Ray''. Sivaprasad's grandfather moved to Banaras and his father Gopichand died when he was eleven.

Sivaprasad submitted a memorandum in 1868 ''Court Characters in the Upper Provinces of India'', in which he pointed out that Urdu characters required interpretation to read and that the phonemes could easily be altered by minor changes to the strokes.
