Bhaskarrao Vidwans
More on Bhaskarrao
Gajaananrao's two younger sons, Gopaalrao and Bhaaskarrao Vidwans are truly the patriarchs of our clan of Vidwans family. Both these brothers were Gandhians to their core, and completely believed in and practiced Gandhi's philosophy and teachings throughout their lives. Both were men of letter and both extensively worked in the field of education and literature.
Bhaaskarrao was a teacher by profession. One of his close associates once said: Bhaaskarrao is at his best when he is teaching. He wrote geography text books in Gujarati, his vernacular language, which fetched him good deal of fortune and enviable degree of fame. Very studious and knowledgeable and of equally humble nature, Bhaaskarrao lived an exemplary life. Though quite rich by the then prevailing standards, he chose to live a very simple life while lavishly giving away money to those in need, and yet kept a very low profile.
