A gifted young Bengali from a Kulin Brahmin family, caught up in Calcutta's ferment of reform, Krishna Mohan Banerjee was baptised in 1832. He became a noted scholar and one of the first Indians ordained in the Anglican church in Bengal, arguing that Christ answered the deepest longings already present in India's own scriptures.
