The Brahmo Samaj and the Shaping of the Modern Indian Mind, David Kopf's 1979 study from Princeton University Press, is a scholarly history of the Brahmo Samaj reform movement and its influence on modern Indian intellectual life. Its strength is that it is a full length academic press monograph tracing the movement's development and reach in detail. Its limit is that, as with any single author synthesis, its particular interpretive emphases should be weighed against other historians' accounts of the same movement, particularly regarding its relationship to colonial modernity.
