Munshiram apart from practicing as a lawyer engaged slowly in work of local Aryasamaj. He soon visited Lahore aryasamaj and was deeply influenced by the young scientist pt. Gurudatt Vedic legacy. The aryasamaj was in its infancy and local Hindus started agitating against it. In 1886 a panchyat of learned Brahmins was called to declare aryas of Jullundur as outcaste. However the four prominent Brahmins involved happened to be very vulnerable as upholders of dharma, they either had a concubine, were known gamblers, or secret consumers of liquor and meat. Devraj and Munshiram visited one of them and made clear that if they participated in the panchyat, their conduct would be publicly exposed, on the day of the meeting the pundits judged it safer to stay away and the threat to samaj collapsed.
