| Summary | Keshab Chandra Sen was one of the most powerful & controversial figures in 19th century Bengal. A religious leader & social reformer, his universalist interpretation of Hinduism found mass appeal in India, & generated considerable interest in Britain. His ideas on British imperial rule, religion & spirituality, global history, universalism & modernity were all influential, & 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 & 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 & Britain largely ruined. As a representative of India, Keshab became emblematic of broad concerns regarding Hinduism & Christianity, science & faith, India & the British Empire. |
