Mahatma Gandhi: (1884–1963), India’s first president was a close ally of Mahatma Gandhi. Rajendra Prasad was born on December 3, 1884, in the Bihar village of Zeradai.
He committed himself to the cause of his country and remained in the vanguard of India’s freedom movement, guiding the fate of the new nation after independence. He was an extraordinary student, an erudite scholar, a true humanist, and a genuinely devout person. Prasad, who was president of the Indian National Congress in 1934, 1939, and 1947, presided over India’s Constituent Assembly and was elected as the republic’s first president when the Constitution went into effect on January 26, 1950.
He left an indelible imprint on independent India’s polity, and his career continues to inspire the country’s population. Rajendra Prasad’s Bihar hamlet was cosmopolitan enough to ensure communal unity and self-sufficiency, providing a good existence for its inhabitants. He married Rajvanshi Devi when he was twelve years old.
He completed his elementary school in the community before attending Chapra District School, where he excelled. Prasad won the Entrance Examination of the University of Kolkata (Calcutta), whose jurisdiction still included Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, and Assam, in 1902. He then enrolled in Kolkata’s famed Presidency College.
He completed his academic career there, gaining the respect of his teachers and peers. As a third-year student, he won the inaugural election for the position of College Union secretary. Though he continued to thrive in his studies, this was also the time of a new political awakening, following the first British partition of Bengal in 1905.
Young Prasad was profoundly disturbed by the anti-partition campaign, and the popular Swadeshi and boycott activities motivated him to enter public life. In 1908, he played a vital role in creating the Bihari Students’ Conference, an institution that supplied political leadership to Bihar for the next few decades.
