Dharm Jagaran Samiti (DJS) is an Indian organisation for conversion of non-Hindus to Hinduism ,[1] with a coordinating committee called "Dharam Jagaran Samanvay Samiti".[2] [3] It is a right-wing Hindu nationalist organisation.[4] [5]
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).[6] [7] The goal of the Dharma Jagran Committee is to return to Hinduism those people whose ancestors were forcibly converted to Islam during the Mughal period . They also oppose Christian missionaries, who are active in the country by converting Dalit Hindus to Christianity, which they allege is done by giving various inducements.[8] [9] [10] [11]
