==Family background, early life and education==
Yadav was born on 26 August 1953 to the late Panna Lal Yadav and Late Rajkumari Yadav. His great-grandfather, Jhalo Sardar, was a famous landlord of that period. It is said that he used to pet lions. His grandfather, Ramdas Rai, spent the family inheritance, mainly on keeping and breeding birds. (Yadav is quoted as saying, "Hum sher se chidiyon per aagaye"). His father had to restart from scratch and set up a business in the Khajekalan area of old Patna, where he was born and spent his childhood.<ref>{{cite book|author=Santosh Singh|url=https://www.amazon.in/Ruled-Misruled-Story-Destiny-Bihar/dp/9385436309?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&portal-device-attributes=desktop|title=Ruled or Misruled: Story & Destiny of Bihar|publisher=Bloomsbury India|date=2015|ISBN=9385436309}}</ref>

==Rashtriya Swaymsevak Sangh==
{{BLP unsourced section|date=November 2020}}
In 1969, Yadav joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The turning point in his life was in 1969 when he passed his matriculation exam. In his words, "We used to go to Khajekalan akhara (arena) to revise mathematics with some friends. A friend, Kumar Dinesh, once recited – Nij Vaibhav ko, Nij Gaurav ko, Tum Desh ke bahadur bhool gaye, Updesh diya jo Gita ka, Kyon sunna-sunana bhool gaye." Upon enquiry, Kumar Dinesh told him about the RSS and how they sang these words at the shakhas. This intrigued him and he wanted to know more. The following day he visited the nearby RSS Sakha with his other friend (Ranjit Sinha) nad became a member of RSS. Yadav joined student politics and within two years he rose to become the president of Patna City Chhatra Sangharsh Samiti.

After completing his intermediate study he started his graduation but had to leave his studies mid-way. During his studies, he became active in students politics and in 1971, he joined the Students Union (Vidyarthi Parishad). In 1974, he joined the social movement launched by the late Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan against the despotic misrule of Congress. In 1974, on the call of JP, he left his BSc final exams midway and went on to head the Patna City Student's Committee (Patna City Chhatra Sangharsh Samiti).

On 8 April 1974, the students of Bihar Chhatra Sangharsh Samiti led a massive silent procession. Yadav participated in this movement under the tutelage of Lok Nayak Jay Prakash Narayan.
