The Bengal Renaissance - pg. 79

It is not historically correct to suppose that Dharma Sabha
was conceived by its founders as an organization to preserves
the Hindu way of life and culture not incosnistent with
modernity in spite of opposition to intrusive forms of westernisation.
The princiapl annd immediate motive behind its foundation
was the necessity to organise the orthodox sections against
four things: 1-Sati regulation of Betinck, 2-Brahma Sabha
of Rammmohun, 3-The movement of Young Bengal against
Hindu prejudices and superstitions and 4-The proselytisation
by Christian missionaries. Among all these four only conversion
into Christianity and some youthful excesses of young Bengal
could be indicated as intrusive forms of westernisation.
