Ahir Yadav Kshatriya Mahasabha
The Ahir Yadav Kshatriya Mahasabha was founded in Rewari[1]1910 by Rao Balbir Singh, in order to promote the interests of the Ahir-Yadav caste. Singh was a descendant of the Abhira dynasty, and the association stated that the Ahirs were the descendants of the Yadu dynasty to which the god Krishna belonged, and thus were members of the Kshatriya (warrior) class in the Hindua varna system.[2]
