Dharm Jagaran Samiti
Indian Hindu nationalist organisation
Dharm Jagaran Samiti (DJS) is an Indian organisation working to convert Muslims and Christians to Hinduism, with a coordinating committee called "Dharam Jagaran Samanvay Samiti".[1][2] It is a right-wing Hindu nationalist organisation.[3][4]
The Dharm Jagaran Samiti is considered a member of the Sangh Parivar group, an umbrella term for Hindu nationalist organisations led by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).[5][6] The goal of the Dharma Jagran Committee is to return to Hinduism those people whose ancestors were converted to Islam during the Mughal period. They also oppose Christian missionaries who convert Dalit Hindus to Christianity, which is allegedely done by giving various inducements.[7][8][9][10]
