In the post-Independence era, people gradually learnt the rules of the democratic set-up, their rights and duties, and the facilities — aids, subsidies, and scholarships — extended by the Government for the promotion of education among all. The first batch of educated youth came out of colleges in the late sixties and early seventies and started moving toward towns and cities in search of government jobs and business commensurate with their qualifications and skills. They earned better livelihoods and helped their parents, brothers, sisters, and kin. As a result, the rural populace grew enthusiastic to send their wards to schools and colleges instead of engaging them in traditional family occupations.
With growing education, people started thinking about the causes of their neglect, insult, exploitation, and oppression by the so-called rich and upper castes — and about the solution. The only answer was to unite, educate, strengthen, and prepare our people to face every challenge standing in the way of their dignity and prosperity.
In a democratic set-up, the electorate is the king-maker. More unity and more voters in a group find more space in the political arena, more power, and more respectable positions; with the support of legislation and administration, the poor and deprived are able to get justice. This was possible only through an organization built to redress problems through collective effort.
Initially, the organization was registered in Delhi in the year 1979 as BHARAT MAURYA SANGH, for activities in Delhi and the NCR. Gradually the organization spread its wings to Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and beyond — and an all-India organization named AKHIL BHARTIYA MAURYA MAHASANGH was registered in 2007, so that it can work anywhere in India without any hurdle.
