A pejorative term for a South Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A Desi Justice Warrior, or DJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of.
In monkey-see-monkey-do style, Desi Justice Warriors follow the steps of their non-Desi counterparts, the infamous Social Justice Warrior.

Non-DJW: A man walks into a bar...
Desi Justice Warrior: You sexist fucking pig, I identify as a bar and the fact you didn't get verbal consent from the bar before you entered it is very triggering. Also, stop oppressing us brown people.
