“ SEN, Keshub Chunder (1838-84) . A Hindu reformer and theist. He was bom at Garifa, Bengal, and received a mixed native and English education. He came into prominence in connection with the Theistic Church of India or the Brahmo-Somaj (q.v.) , which he joined in 1857. In 1865 a division resulted, and the majority became known as the ‘progressive Somaj’ with Sen as the acknowledged leader. Although acknowledging the moral precepts of Christ, they demanded for India a Christ presented in Oriental form for the Hindu mind. ”
