== Early life ==
[[File:Yogendra Yadav addressing a rally in Mumbai.jpg|thumb|Yogendra Yadav addressing a rally in Mumbai.]]

Yogendra Yadav's father was a retired professor of economics and his paternal grandfather was a teacher. His wife, Madhulika Banerjee, is an associate professor at the [[University of Delhi]]. His birth name was Salim, which is commonly associated with people of the Muslim faith. It was changed to Yogendra when he was aged five because he was being mocked by children at school.
