Abstract

The dynamic forces of culture, tradition, politics, and technology constantly shape and change society. Socio-religious reform organizations have played a crucial role in changing and influencing the characteristics of numerous societies throughout history. These organizations have been instrumental in challenging ingrained norms, promoting change, and sparking paradigmatic upheavals in society. Their motives range from spiritual enlightenment to social justice to cultural rebirth. This study examines the crucial impact that groups dedicated to social and religious reform played in influencing Kashmir's sociopolitical climate under the Dogra Rule. The paper explores the essential role played by these groups in questioning ingrained societal conventions, promoting progressive social change, and encouraging a sense of cultural and religious revival among Kashmiris. The study sheds insight on these reform-oriented organizations' multiple operations, beliefs, and effects by examining how they have affected Kashmiri society, politics, and religious viewpoint
