Founded in 1901-2, the Kangri Gurukula Academy near Hardwar, was inspired by the Gurukula ideal. It was originally the brainchild of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, which was concretised by Lala Munshi Ram.
Swami Shraddhananda's Shuddhi and Sanghatan movements to unite and organize the Hindu society alarmed the Islamic Ulema which launched a spate of violent attacks against Hindus across India.
