The Shuddhi Movement was started by the Arya Samaj, founded by Swami Dayananda Saraswati. Its main aim was to reconvert individuals who had left Hinduism for other religions, bringing them back into the Hindu fold. The movement gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially under leaders like Swami Shraddhanand. It not only focused on religious reconversion but also on social reform, education, and the removal of caste-based discrimination within Hindu society.
