Dharm Jagaran Samiti

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]
