Dear Brahmo Conference group,
Sarbajit's article on the Origins of Brahmoism offers a new
and disturbing perspective on our religion's roots. I am
surprised that nobody has disputed this article, which is a
testament to Sarbajit's forceful personality. A few queries though,
1. Who is the "contemporary biographer" frequently cited.
2. Is Sarbajit implying that Ram Mohun Roy was clay in the
hands of the Serampore missionaries.
3. What are the implications of Brahmoism if this version is
made public, say through the wikipedea.
