862:"The DFN hosted a conference entitled "Racism and Caste Based Discrimination in India: Implications for the US-India Relationship", where talks were given by activists Udit Raj and Kancha Ilaiah who have been accused of making statements that are biased against Hinduism" - factually not supported by the source provided. According to this source a US Congressman organized a conference and invited a number of speakers, which included D'souza, Raj and Ilaiah. So they attended the same conference. Doesn't prove they have the same agenda.
