Kadambini, India's first female doctor, did not forget 'professionalism' on the day of her husband's death


Kadambini Ganguly, India's first female doctor who made Calcutta ...

Source:His identity can be given in many ways. In the year he was born, many more talented people were born. People remember the year 1861 as the birth year of Rabindranath Tagore, Prafulla Chandra Roy, Nilratan Sarkar. Kadambini was born in the same year. As a doctor, he has crossed one peak after another. She was one of the pioneers of women's education and women's advancement. What was his danger? But there is one thing, there is a woman behind all successful men.Here the matter has turned a little. Three men are the backbone of Kadambini's courage. No matter what the situation at home and in the community; Dad and Pistuto's grandfather are by his side.And later teacher and husband Dwarkanath Gangopadhyay was a comrade-in-arms. He has endured many reproaches, insults, slanders and oppressions of the society; But they have won at the end of the day. He opened the door of Calcutta Medical College for girls. Why just medical college; This is a big step in the case of South Asia.
There was a big moment before the doctor. Kadambini started studying in the Hindu Mahila Vidyalaya established in 1873. After three years, however, the name of the school was changed to 'Banga Mahila Vidyalaya'. A couple of years later, it merged with Bethune School. Kadambini passed the entrance from this school. News of his achievement reached Lord Lytton himself. He also received an award from Lady Lytton. On the other hand, Chandramukhi Basu also sat successfully in the entrance.
Bethune School was changed to Bethune College for these two. Such an incident has not happened in Bengal before. There is a lot of noise in the society. In 183, when Chandramukhi graduated in Political Economy and Kadambini in Mathematics; Bengali, of course, caused a stir in the whole country. India's first two female graduates! Poet Hemchandra Bandyopadhyay also wrote a whole poem about Kadambini-Chandramukhi. The Bethune College campus was so crowded that day that the police had to beat them!Just as he was attentive to his studies, so was his devotion to medicine. Such was the professionalism. Eight children at home, the youngest has not yet learned to recognize his mother.Among them, Kadambini Gangopadhyay left for Billet alone. The companion was a lady.
In all, he earned three medical diplomas in three months. Then he returned to the country. Strange thing, when he returned, his little boy did not recognize him. Kadambini was sad; But soon he forgot that grief and went to work.
His idea of ​​the purpose of life was very clear.

Kadambini was an outstanding and skilled physician, as evidenced by several descriptions of the time. He is weaving one lace after another with the hand with which he is performing the perfect operation. Yes, it was one of his hobbies. When he went to the patient's house, whenever there was a gap, he would drown between two sticks and wool.Then when that mind would come back to the right place! One more incident needs to be mentioned. June 26, 1897. Swami Dwarkanath Gangopadhyay died in the morning. In the afternoon, Kadambini Gangopadhyay went to a zamindar's house to give birth. Everyone is surprised! Where to mourn, it is not! Such was the professionalism.
Whether it was a session of the Congress, the worship of the Brahmo Samaj, the treatment of the sick or the treatment of the children, the bonds of rules and affection were never allowed to loosen. Even on the day of death, the patient is seen as a rule.
