jan 1, 1866 - Brahmo Samaj of India by Keshab Chandra Sen 1866

Description:

When Debendranath Tagore appointed Keshab Chandra Sen (1838–84) as acharya shortly after the latter joined the Brahmo Samaj in 1858, the Brahmo Samaj witnessed a new burst of vitality.
Outside of Bengal, branches of the Samaj were established in the United Provinces, Punjab, Bombay, Madras, and other cities, thanks to the efforts of Keshab.
The Brahmo Samaj of India was created by Keshab and his supporters in 1866, whereas Debendranath Tagore's Samaj became known as the "Adi Brahmo Samaj".
Keshab's incomprehensible conduct of marrying his 13-year-old daughter to the minor Hindu Maharaja of Cooch-Behar with all the customary Hindu ceremonies sparked another division in Keshab 's Brahmo Samaj of India in 1878.
Some of Keshab's followers had begun to regard him as an incarnation, much to the chagrin of his progressive followers.
In addition, Keshab was accused of authoritarianism.
After 1878, Keshab's disgruntled supporters formed the "Sadharan Brahmo Samaj", a new organization.

In Punjab, the Dayal Singh Trust established Dayal Singh College in Lahore in 1910 to instill Brahmo beliefs.
