About Keshub Chandra Sen
- Keshub Chandra Sen (Bengali: ?????????? ???, Keshob Chôndro Shen; also spelled Keshab Chunder Sen; 19 November 1838 – 8 January 1884) was an Indian Bengali philosopher and social reformer.
- Born a Hindu, he became a member of the Brahmo Samaj in 1856 but founded his own breakaway "Brahmo Samaj of India" in 1866 while the Brahmo Samaj remained under the leadership of Debendranath Tagore (who headed the Brahmo Samaj till his death in 1905).
- In 1878 his followers abandoned him after the underage child marriage of his daughter which exposed his campaign against child marriage as hollow.
- Later in his life he came under the influence of Ramakrishna and founded a syncretic "New Dispensation" inspired by Christianity, and Vaishnav bhakti, and Hindu practices.
