Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasaba-1897

After the Revolt of 1857, many Taluqdars and Rajput Estate Holders who supported the revolutionists or participated with them were compromised. The British impounded many of their lands and properties and they were taxed with heavy fines. Raja Hanumant Singh, the Chief of Kalakankar, was one such Taluqdar, who was dispossessed of his many properties for supporting the Revolt of 1857. Raja Hanumant Singh believed a pan-India organization was necessary to correct the injustice faced by their community. He founded the association in 1857 with other Taluqdars of Oudh and named it the Ram Dal. It was renamed Kshatriya Hitkarni Sabha in 1860. The association was formed to protect and fight for rights and interests of Rajput communities. In 1897, Kshatriya Mahasabha became the successor to the Kshatriya Hitkarni Sabha, under the leadership of Raja Balwant Singh of Awagarh with Thakur Umarao Singh of Kotla, Raja Rampal Singh of Kalakankar, and Raja Uday Pratap Singh of Bhinga. Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha came into existence on 19 Oct 1897, creating a platform to promote the cause of the Kashatriyas and Rajputs

A newsletter called Rajput Monthly was launched in 1898. The association had its first conference in the Rajput Boarding House at Agra. Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh of Jammu & Kashmir sponsored the launching of an Urdu publication called the Rajput Gazette as a fortnightly from Lahore. In the early 1900s, princely states rulers and large zamindars started various schools and colleges in their territories, giving preference to students of the Kshatriya community.

After independence of India in 1947, the situation changed dramatically for the upper Kshatriya caste and its influential members. The princely states were merged into the Union of India, Zamindari was also abolished, and the association was directionless. In 1955, the association was revived at a meeting in Ujjain under Babu Ram Narayan, a prominent Rajput politician from Bihar, who was elected its president the association got fresh leadership.[citation needed] The centenary celebration of the association was held in 1987 at New Delhi under president-ship of Raja Digvijaysinhji Prajapsinhji Jhala.
