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 peasant-alliance.[1]

The theory was later used by Chaudhary Charan Singh in the 1970s as a part of his Kisan-Politics[2] to break the monopoly of Indian National Congress in Uttar Pradesh.[3] He subscribed to the Martial Race theory that Ahirs, Jats, Gurjars and Rajputs are of the same social and racial group, the Kshatriya clan.[4]

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, has decided that marriages between these castes would not be considered as inter caste marriage.[5] It's being promoted as single entity called Kshatriyas. AJGAR emerged to gain political power in the state.[6][7]

Political outcome

In Western Uttar Pradesh, the wealth and power of AJGAR alliance increased during the Green Revolution period,[3][8] but the AJGAR formula failed to gain widespread support.[9] However, later in 1989, the leader V. P. Singh used the AJGAR cluster successfully to conjoin the Other Backward Classes and Rajputs.[10]Шаблон:Clarify
