Bharat Ratna’ Madan Mohan Malaviya was a veteran Indian statesman, educationist, and independence activist. Malaviya’s decades-long political career saw him serving as President of the Indian National Congress four times. He is remembered as the founder of the largest residential university in Asia and one of the largest in the world, the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). For almost two decades, he served as Vice-Chancellor of BHU, a university with departments in sciences, medicine, engineering, technology, law, agriculture, arts, and performing arts, with a strength of over 35,000 students. He was a proponent of Hindu nationalism and remained a member of the Hindu Mahasabha, serving as its President in two special sessions held in Gaya and Kashi. He also founded the Ganga Mahasabha in Haridwar. Malaviya, along with other prominent Indian personalities, helped establish Scouting in India as an overseas branch of the Scout Association of the UK. He was the founder of The Leader, an English-language newspaper published from Allahabad that became highly influential. People addressed him as Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya out of respect, and he was fondly called Mahamana, a title conferred upon him by Mahatma Gandhi. He popularized the slogan "Satyameva Jayate" (Truth alone triumphs) from the Mundakopanishad, advocating it as a national motto for India.
