History
Arya Samaj had initially been established in Dar-es-Salaam by Karsandas Dwarikadas. The Arya Samaj, thanks to generous donation by its supporters, constructed a building in the city. A school for girls was established which provided instruction in English, Hindi and Gujarati which later became the Dayanand Anglo Vedic (DAV) Secondary School. Vedic preachers from India, who toured Africa, also stopped over in Dar-es-Salaam. Other Arya Samajs were established in Tabora, Mwanza and Tanga.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
