It was publicly inaugurated on 11th Magh or 23 January 1830....Keshub Chunder Sen joined the Calcutta Brahmo Samaj in 1857. This name it retained till the year of the first schism in 1866, after which it was changed to Adi (original) Brahmo Samaj. The new one was called Brahmo Samaj of India. Although, the Brahmo Samaj movement was born in Kolkata, the idea soon spread to the rest of India....In all fields of social reform, including abolition of the caste system and of the dowry system, emancipation of women, and improving the educational system, the Brahmo Samaj reflected the ideologies of the Bengal Renaissance...." - wikipedia]
