&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Indian caste organisation}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;All India Kurmi Mahasabha&#039;&#039;&#039; (AIKM) is an organisation that was established in 1910 to promote the interests of the [[Kurmi]] community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origin ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kurmi agriculturist community had a reputation as a hard-working, intelligent[[caste system in India|caste]] by the authorities of the [[British Raj]]. A Kurmi community association was formed in 1894 at [[Lucknow]] to protest against the recruitment policy that showed disadvantage against them in entry into the police service. This was followed by an organisation in [[Awadh]] that sought to draw other communities&amp;amp;nbsp;such as the [[Patidar]]s, [[Maratha]]s, Kudumbars, [[Velama]], [[Vokkaliga]], [[Kamboj]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1940s and after, following the [[independence of India]], the position of the AIKKM as a focal point for the community changed. In common with many other caste associations, it had been concerned primarily with resolving disputes among members of the community and with maintaining cohesion but a new breed of educated, youthful Kurmi activists sought a more politicised agenda.&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;All India Kurmi Mahasabha&#039;&#039;&#039; (AIKM) is an organisation that was established in 1910 to promote the interests of the [[Kurmi]] community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origin ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kurmi agriculturist community had a reputation as a hard-working [[caste system in India|caste]] by the authorities of the [[British Raj]]. They were at one time classified as a [[Criminal Tribes Act |criminal tribe]] and had a reputation for being violent and ruthless in their attempts to dominate [[untouchability|untouchable]] communities.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Kumar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Kumar|first=Ashwani|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=num2I4NFGqIC&amp;amp;pg=PA35|title=Community Warriors: State, Peasants and Caste Armies in Bihar|publisher=Anthem Press|year=2008|isbn=9781843317098|page=35}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Desiring recognition as a caste, the first Kurmi community association was formed in 1894 at [[Lucknow]] to protest against the recruitment policy that debarred them from entry to the police service. This was followed by an organisation in [[Awadh]] that sought to draw other communities&amp;amp;nbsp;such as the [[Patidar]]s, [[Maratha]]s, Kudumbars, [[Velama]], [[Vokkaliga]], [[Kamboj]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1940s and after, following the [[independence of India]], the position of the AIKKM as a focal point for the community changed. In common with many other caste associations, it had been concerned primarily with resolving disputes among members of the community and with maintaining cohesion but a new breed of educated, youthful Kurmi activists sought a more politicised agenda. They appealed to the upwardly-mobile landowning members of the community to support their goal of recognition for [[Chhattisgarh]] as an independent state within the Republic of India. Some of these people, who included [[Purushottam Kaushik]], formed organisations such as the Nau Yuvak Sangh (1946), while [[Khubchand Bagel]] was elected as head of the AIKKM in 1948 but, like Kaushik, was primarily interested the Chhattisgarh issue.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Remapping India: New States and their Political Origins |first=Louise |last=Tillin |publisher=Hurst Publishers |year=2013 |isbn=9781849042291 |pages=119–120, 154 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=abENAQAAQBAJ}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
