A fact from Krishna Mohan Banerjee appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 October 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that when Krishna Mohan Banerjee, a member of the famous Young Bengal group in Kolkata, in British India, converted to Christianity in 1832, he lost his job in David Hare’s school?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/October.

Missionary propaganda?[edit]

The small portion referring to Derozio deleted by Bakasupraman was based on information in Tattwabodhini Patrika and the Bengal Renaissance by Amiya Kumar Sen, formerly lecturer, Calcutta University and Principal, City College.

In his letter of resignation, Derozio wrote, “unexamined, and unheard, you resolve to dismiss me even without the mockery of a trial.” This is mentioned in History of the Bengali-speaking People by Nitish Sengupta.

Derozio was an aetheist (mentioned by Nitish Sengupta). I am not aware of any Christian missionary support for him. The only person who tried to help him was David Hare, apart from the Derozians.

While I accept the deletion because it is related to Derozio and not to Krishna Mohan Banerjee, I would like to be enlightened about this being missionary propaganda.

Because in a book by Stanley Wolpert, it states that Derozio was actively trying to convert Hindus from the college. Calling his firing unwarranted and giving Derozio's voice to the page seems like propaganda to me. It adds little to the article.

Bakaman _Bakatalk 00:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Cite the book and page. It seems a little odd, given that Derozio was an outspoken atheist. Hornplease 00:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not to say that calling the dismissal unwarranted was relevant. Hornplease

Bravo![edit]

Bravo! Good article. I have a photo of the Reverend that I'll upload tomorrow from work. --Antorjal 02:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
