keshub chandra sen -lrb- , `` keshob chôndro shen '' -rrb- -lrb- 19 november 1838 -- 8 january 1884 -rrb- was an indian bengali hindu philosopher and social reformer who attempted to incorporate christian theology within the framework of hindu thought .
born a hindu , he became a member of the brahmo samaj in 1856 but founded his own breakaway `` brahmo samaj of india '' in 1866 while the brahmo samaj remained under the leadership of maharshi debendranath tagore -lrb- who headed the brahmo samaj till his death in 1905 -rrb- .
in 1878 his followers abandoned him after the underage child marriage of his daughter which exposed his campaign against child marriage as hollow .
later in his life he came under the influence of ramakrishna and founded a syncretic `` new dispensation '' or `` nôbobidhan '' inspired by christianity , and `` vaishnav '' `` bhakti '' , and hindu practices .
