Ratnagiri, Maharashtra – “The crisis of Love Jihad has now reached our doorstep, yet we continue to remain complacent. What more must happen before we awaken? Despite widespread atrocities, forced conversions, and murders of Hindu girls and women, Hindus still fail to recognise the enemy. We do not fully understand what we should accept and from whom. Equally important is the fact that the funding for these activities comes from the ‘halal economy’. The time has come for all Hindus to consciously reject products bearing halal certification,” asserted Shri Ramesh Shinde, National Spokesperson of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.
The ‘Beti Surakshit, Rashtra Surakshit’ (Safe Daughter, Safe Nation) campaign has been launched by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. Under this campaign, a special lecture was organised by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti on 14 June at the Jayesh Mangal Park in the city on the topic ‘Corporate Jihad: What is the Exact Truth?’.

Sanatan Sanstha’s Dharmapracharak Sadguru Swati Khadye and fierce devout Hindu advocate Advocate Priti Raut also provided guidance at this event. The proceedings of the programme were compered by Ku. Divya Ghag. The event was attended by more than 700 Hindus.
The revered presence of Sanatan’s Dharmapracharak Sadguru Satyawan Kadam and Sanatan Sanstha’s Anjali Karambelkar graced the occasion. The programme concluded with the singing of the complete ‘Vande Mataram’ by Pujaniya Anjali Karambelkar.
Shri. Ramesh Shinde further stated that:
“Love Jihad is not a new phenomenon. History is replete with examples — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj fought against five Sultanates, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj endured unimaginable torture yet refused to abandon his Dharma, and thousands of Rajput women performed Johar (self-immolation) to protect their honour.
Given the repeated atrocities Hindu society has faced, the question arises: how can Hindu girls fall prey to Love Jihad? Women are the foundation of the nation. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born because of the strength and resolve of his mother, Jijabai. There are countless such examples.”
Wear at least one adornment of valour – Sadguru Swati Khadye, Dharmapracharak, Sanatan Sanstha
Love Jihad is no longer confined to any single sector but has spread across all fields. It is not merely about individual girls or women, but a larger conspiracy aimed at eradicating Hindu lineage and Dharma. Complacency in the form of “she is not my daughter or sister” is extremely dangerous.
In Hindu Dharma, the kumkum on a woman’s forehead awakens her Shaktitattva (divine feminine energy), while the tilak on a man’s forehead awakens his Shivatattva (divine consciousness). Henceforth, while adorning yourselves, ensure that at least one adornment reflects valour. The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti organises free Dharmashikshan classes and self-defence training across various places. Everyone should make full use of these initiatives.
Take to the streets for our sisters trapped in love jihad – Advocate Priti Raut
They arrive wearing the hijab; why have we stopped applying kumkum? They find time during work to offer namaz; why then do we not take out time for prayers and stotras? Let us remember that we abandon Dharma first, and consequently, Dharma abandons us. Girls today need pride and self-respect. This self-respect should be directed towards jihadis. When a jihadi harasses a Hindu girl, she should react aggressively with the thought, ‘How did such a notion even enter his mind?’.
Hindu values must be instilled in children right from birth. Begin rooting Dharma into daily life. If any girl or woman in our society is being trapped in love jihad, society must rise in her support, recognising her as our own sister in Dharma.
