Keshab
Author: John Stevens
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019093493X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
Keshab Chandra Sen (1838-84) was one of the most powerful and controversial figures in nineteenth-century Bengal. A religious leader and social reformer, his universalist interpretation of Hinduism found mass appeal in India, and generated considerable interest in Britain. His ideas on British imperial rule, religion and spirituality, global history, universalism and modernity were all influential, and his visit to England made him a celebrity. Many Britons regarded him as a prophet of world-historical significance. Keshab was the subject of extreme adulation and vehement criticism. Accounts tell of large crowds prostrating themselves before him, believing him to be an avatar. Yet he died with relatively few followers, his reputation in both India and Britain largely ruined. As a representative of India, Keshab became emblematic of broad concerns regarding Hinduism and Christianity, science and faith, India and the British Empire. This innovative study explores the transnational historical forces that shaped Keshab's life and work. It offers an alternative religious history of empire, characterized by intercultural dialogue and religious syncretism. A fascinating and often tragic portrait of Keshab's experience of the imperial world, and the ways in which he carried meaning for his contemporaries.

The Brahmo Samaj Movement In Punjab : The Life, Times & Works of Bhai Prakash Dev 1855-1914
Author: Professor Sumanta Niyogi
Publisher: READERS SERVICE
ISBN: 9392283024
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The present study makes a foray into a largely unexplored area of modern Indian history — the entrance, activities & impact of a socio-religious reform movement in the tradition-bound conservative society of Punjab during the 19th & early 20th centuries. Truly, the untold story of the origin, rise & decline of the Brahmo Samaj in Punjab is so significant historically, so invigorating intellectually, & so inspiring spiritually that it needed to be revealed much earlier. In its short span of existence in the province. the Brahmo Samaj. aided by the hard work & dedication of several of its noble spirits that included Keshubchandra Sen, Sivanath Sastri, Nabin Chandra Roy, Shivanarayan Agnihotri, Ruchi Ram Sahni, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia and above all, Bhai Prakash Dev, who forms the central theme of our discussion, promoted the spread of modern education & political consciousness in Punjab by setting up numerous schools, colleges and libraries, & by publishing newspapers, journals, and books in Urdu, Gurumukhi & English. It, thus, left a legacy that enriched, ennobled & enlightened the province’s society, culture & intellect. Interestingly enough, the historic city of Lahore was once the nodal of point of the Samaj activities not only in the huge province of Punjab of the pre-Partition days but also in the neighbouring areas of Delhi, west UP & North-west Frontier Provinces as far as Peshawar & Quetta. This will sound as mythological to the present generation, grown up with the horrifying tales of intense religious intolerance & unbridled fanaticism in these places on the other side of the border. It is hoped that this exploration, marked by thorough research & analysis, will be useful to both research scholars & generals.
