Re: Dynastyic succession in Brahmo Samaj

The historical points are essentially true, but there is no dynastic
succession in the Adi Brahmo Samaj. There is no "head" of Adi
Brahmo Samaj and membership / leadership is not limited to
"Tagores" or their descendants.

Your question is academic; Adi Brahmo Samaj by itself is no longer
directly active except to extent of providing intellectual, theological
and spiritual leadership to associated movements like Adi Dharma
and even more radical indigenous peoples movements.
