it was precisely with that intention that arya samaj was founded by swami dayanand saraswati early 1900s or so.

he was murdered by a muslim, when he tried to re-convert some tribal folks in himachal pradesh or around there. this guy was hung. happened sometime 1920s or so, if i remember right.

on the day of his funeral, entire delhi was green with mourning.

when the swami was cremated, entire delhi was saffron with mourning.

i may be off base here with my facts.

i have attended arya samaj weddings in toronto. they are precisely to the minute, 1h 22m and go through vedic rituals without any dressings.

recently, one of my nephews in the u.s. married a korean girl. the bride's family flew in from korea for the wedding. local arya samaj priest in chennai conducted the wedding. no kudumi. no bare chest. just another ordinary person like you and me.
