A scion of Jashpur royal family, Dilip Singh Judeo launched the Ghar Wapsi campaign, aimed at re-instating converted members of tribal community into Sanatan fold in 90s.
The campaign turned out to be a major success in the tribal dominated pockets of Surguja division, given a significant number of tribals who were earlier led into conversion reverted to Sanatan Dharma.
