AJGAR
AJGAR was a suggested alliance of the Ahir, Jat, Gurjar and Rajput castes. It was first proposed by Sir Chhotu Ram, a rural leader and politician in pre-independence India as a form of Kshatriya-alliance. The theory was later used by Chaudhary Charan Singh in the 1970s as a part of his "Kisan-Politics" to break the monopoly of Indian National Congress in Uttar Pradesh. He subscribed to the Martial Race theory that Ahirs, Jats, Gurjars and Rajputs are of the same social and racial group: the Kshatriya clan. Aims and objectives. The backward castes are prosperous throughout  the state of Uttar Pradesh and constitute the mid-strata of the village social structure. At present, the panchayati raj in india, has decided that marriages between these castes would not be considered as inter caste marriage. It's being constitutes as single entity called Kshatriyas. Their social conditions largely correspond to their economic position, better than the Scheduled Castes and nearer to the higher castes. AJGAR emerged to gain political power in the state. Political outcome. In Western Uttar Pradesh, the wealth and power of AJGAR alliance increased during the Green Revolution period, but the AJGAR formula failed to  gain widespread support. However, later in 1989, the leader V. P. Singh used the AJGAR cluster successfully to conjoin the Other Backward Classes and Rajputs.
