'''Sir Narayan Ganesh Chandavarkar''' (2 December 1855 – 14 May 1923) was an early [[Indian National Congress]] politician and [[Hindu]] reformer. He was regarded by some as the "leading Hindu reformer of western India"<ref name="j">[https://www.jstor.org/stable/1461225 ''Modern Religious Movements in India''] by [[J. N. Farquhar]] - Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Vol. 43, No. 2, Book Review Supplement (Jun., 1975), pp. 349-351</ref>

==Early life==
Narayan Ganesh Chandavarkar was born in [[Honavar]] in the [[Bombay Presidency]] on 2 December 1855. His maternal uncle was Shamrao Vithal Kaikini, another notable reformer from the [[Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin]] community.<ref>[http://www.srikumar.com/tdtemplecochin/gowda-saraswath-history.htm The Origin and Spread of Gauda Saraswats - Part I] - Saraswat Vol. 1 No.1 by [[Suryakant Kamat]]</ref> He served as a Dakshina Fellow in [[Elphinstone College]] for some time before earning a law degree in 1881. Shortly before the Indian National Congress was founded in 1885, N. G. Chandavarkar went to England as a member of the three-man delegation. The group was sent to educate public opinion about India right before general elections took place in England.<ref name="s">[http://www.congresssandesh.com/AICC/history/presidents/sir_narayan_ganesh_chandavarkar.htm Sir Narayan Ganesh Chandavarkar] - Congress Sandesh</ref> G.L. Chandavarkar writes {{cquote|His visit to England in 1885 carved out for Chandavarkar a political career, and he threw himself whole-heartedly into the work of the Indian National Congress which was founded in Bombay in 1885 on December 28, the day on which he and the other delegates returned to India<ref name="s" />}}

==Career==
He was the vice chancellor of the university of Bombay.He was elected the president of the annual session of the [[Indian National Congress]] in 1900
and one year later he was promoted to the high bench at the [[Bombay High Court]].<ref>{{cite web |title= Former Justices |url= http://www.bombayhighcourt.nic.in/cjshow.php?auth=amdldGlkPTE0JnBhZ2Vubz0y |publisher=Bombay High Court, Bombay |access-date=2 February 2012}}</ref> He took a break from politics for the next twelve years and devoted his time to the judicial system and various social groups till 1913. The main social group he worked with was the [[Prarthana Samaj]] ("Prayer Society"). He took the leadership reins from [[Mahadev Govind Ranade]] after the death of the latter in 1901.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9061201/Prarthana-Samaj Prarthana Samaj] - Encyclopædia Britannica</ref> The organization was inspired by the [[Brahmo Samaj]] and was involved in the [[modernization]] of [[Hinduism|Hindu society]].<ref>[http://www.hindubooks.org/sudheer_birodkar/hindu_history/hinduism.html Hinduism - The Essence of India] - Hindubooks</ref>

Chandavarkar was knighted in the 1910 New Year Honours List.<ref>[http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/28331/pages/526 London Gazette, 21 January 1910]</ref>

==Return to politics==
He returned to the realm of [[Politics of India|Indian politics]] in 1914. A schism in the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] in 1918 came to separate the organization into two camps. Chandavarkar became the head of the ''All-India Moderates Conference'' in 1918 along with [[Surendranath Banerjea]] and [[Dinshaw Wacha]]. In 1920 "he presided over the public meeting held in [[Bombay]] to protest against the report of the [[Hunter Committee]] on the [[Jallianwala Bagh]] atrocities which was appointed by the Government of India."<ref name="s" /> [[Mahatma Gandhi]] was inspired by this to move a resolution on the topic. Later, on Chandavarkar's advice, [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] called off his [[Civil Disobedience]] campaign in 1921.{{fact|date=September 2017}}

==Notable quotes==
*Noting the general trend of Hindu reform movements in the early twentieth century he remarked
{{cquote|The ideas that lie at the heart of the gospel of Krishna are slowly but surely permeating every part of Hindu society.<ref name="j" />}}
