Ahir Yadav Kshatriya Mahasabha

The Ahir Yadav Kshatriya Mahasabha (AYKM) was founded in Rewari, British India, in 1910 by Rao Balbir Singh. Its aim was to promote the interests of the Ahir-Yadav communities and the Ahir Yadav Kshatriya Mahasabha was formed to uplift the whole Yaduvanshi Kshatriya society because there was some superstition and other societies error in the Yadav society. Ahirs descended from the Yadu dynasty (hence the term Yadav) to which Krishna belonged, and that the Ahirs real name was Yadavs and that they were Kshatriyas.[1][2]
