Description
Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, the patriot, educationist, statesman, orator, journalist and social reformer, was born at Prayag (Allahabad) on 25 December, 1861. His forefathers hailed from the Malawa region of Central India. They migrated to what is now called Uttar Pradesh as early as the year 1419.
Family circumstances did not permit Pandit Brajnath to provide higher education to his children. But Madan Mohan was an exception. He received his early education form his father and grandfather who were themselves great scholars and distinguished teachers. His memory was so sharp that he was able to memorise any number of Sanskrit couplets and songs that he heard.
After his basic education at home, the child Madan Mohan was admitted to the free Shrimadakshara Pathashala (which was afterwards renamed as Shri Dharmananopadesha Pathashala). But the institution was better known as the Haradeva Guruki Pathashala, after the name of its founder Principal Shri Haradevaji.
