Swami Vivekananda described Dayanand Saraswati's Arya Samaj as "aggressive Hinduism." Vivekananda believed that Arya Samaj's approach to reforming Hinduism was confrontational and assertive in its promotion of Vedic principles and rejection of certain traditional practices. He saw Arya Samaj as a movement that sought to revive and purify Hinduism through a more assertive and aggressive stance compared to other reform movements of the time.
