Krishna Mohan Banerjee〔His surname is also transliterated as ''Banerjea'' or as ''Bandyopadhyay''.〕 ((ベンガル語:কৃষ্ণমোহন বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়)) (24 May 1813 – 11 May 1885) 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. ==Early life== Son of Jibon Krishna Banerjee and Sreemoti Devi, Krishna Mohan was born on 24 May 1813 at Shyampur, Kolkata, Bengal, in the house of his maternal grandfather, Ramjay Vidyabhusan, the court-pundit of Santiram Singha of Jorasanko. In 1819, Krishna Mohan joined the ''School Society Institution'' (later renamed as Hare School) founded by David Hare at Kalitala. Impressed by his talents, Hare took him to his school at Pataldanga, later famous as Hare School in 1822. Banerjee joined the newly founded Hindu College with a scholarship. In 1831, the religious-reformer-and-litterateur started publishing ''The Inquirer''. In the same year his play, ''The Persecuted: or, Dramatic Scenes Illustrative of the Present State of Hindoo Society in Calcutta'', was produced. It was monotonically critical of certain prevalent social practices. While at college he used to attend the lectures of the Scottish Christian missionary, Alexander Duff, who had come to India in 1830. His father died of cholera in 1828. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krishna Mohan Banerjee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
