Krishna Mohan Banerjee

Krishna Mohan Banerjee (Bengali: কৃষ্ণমোহন বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়) (24 May 1813– 11 May 1885) (his surname is also transliterated as 'Banerjea' or as 'Bandyopadhyay') was one of the 19th-century Indian thinkers who attempted to rethink Hindu philosophy, religion and ethics in response to the stimulus of Christian ideas. He himself became a Christian, and was the first president of the Bengal Christian Association, which was administered and financed by Indians. He was a prominent member of Henry Louis Vivian Derozio’s (1808–1831) Young Bengal group, educationist, linguist and Christian missionary.
