Ghar Wapsi

Ghar Wapsi, meaning "homecoming" in Hindi, refers to the political and social movement aimed at encouraging Hindu individuals who had previously converted to other religions, such as Islam or Christianity, to return to their ancestral faith. Advocates see it as restoring cultural and religious identity, while critics view it as controversial and linked to efforts to promote Hindu nationalism. The movement emphasizes reaffirming traditional customs and religious practices, often supported by groups involved in community and religious activities. It is a complex issue involving personal beliefs, social dynamics, and political considerations.
