All India Jaat Mahasabha
Jaat Mahasabha or All India Jaat Mahasabha is the first association of Jaats in India. Its aspire is to elevate awareness about the social and financially viable troubles faced by Jaats. Many of its officers are politically energetic and are significant. The Jaat Mahasabha spearheaded the community's move violently for reservation in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in 1999.
Chaudhary Dara Singh is the currently president of the organization. The Mahasabha became a forum for tough employment and airing Jat grievances over what their poor representation in government service. Leaders like Sir Chhotu Ram were closely associated with the Jaat Mahasabha and it remained the leading vehicle for advancing the Jat interests, even after the formation of the Unionist Party, which was concerned with agriculturists' interests in Punjab.
The All India Jaat Mahasabha was founded in Muzaffarnagar in western Uttar Pradesh, India in 1907, as an subsidiary of the Arya Samaj. The Mahasabha, a supra-provincial association, was professed in southeast Punjab as a sign of unanimity in Jat society and as the main medium of improvement and change.
The Jaat Mahasabha is a non political association in nature. It is a social organisation. It is organised by a community for its strengthen, for social renovation. The Jaat Mahasabha has been running from 1993 for social causes. But it is not a registered body, not even as an NGO or social organisation.
Sir Chhotu Ram explained its objectives as under:
".... slowly the Jat Kshatriya Sabha in Jamna-par (western UP) came into survival which had its collision in Haryana. This was followed by the configuration of panchayats. It breathed a new spirit into the Jaat community.
In this period, only the Arya Samaj propagated its rules in Haryana and the Jaats were greatly influenced by it. This movement was consolidated through its leaders. It led to an arousing among the Jaats. The Jaat School was opened, the Jaat (Maha) Sabha was created and the Jat Gazette was started. ....
Earlier the Jaats were all split, but now they were brought jointly. They began to recognize all their institutions as exclusively Jaat. The Jaats became aware of their sense of unity."
