Keshab Chander Sen and Tagore family In 1857, Keshab Sen took up a clerkship, this time as a private secretary to Dwijendranath Tagore and joined the Brahmo Samaj. In 1859, Sen dedicated himself to the Acharya, organisational work of the Brahmo Samaj, and in 1862 was assigned, by Hemendranath Tagore, a stipendiary ministry (Acharya) of one of its Worship Houses despite being a non-Brahmin (previously a Shudra, untouchable, had been made an Acharya by Debendranath Tagore).

Amita, that was enlightening.

I also understand, that the Brahmo Samaj also runs the City College in Calcutta,an institute that played a prominent role towards the Bengal Renaissance.
