The '''All India Yadav Mahasabha''' is a [[caste system in India|caste]]-based community organisation established on 17 April 1924 to serve a broad body of Indian social groups collectively known as the [[Yadav]] caste.<ref>{{cite web|title=All India Yadav Mahasabha|url=https://www.yadavsmovement.in/}}</ref>
The educated elite among the Yadavs instigated the formation of the All-India Yadav Mahasabha (AIYM) in 1924 in [[Allahabad]], [[British India]]. It immediately engaged itself in two issues, appealing to its members in all regions to add ''Yadav'' to their names and at the same time launching a major programme to effect social reform.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}<!-- <ref>[http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/audience.nsf/(docid)/0879F8EFAD3A0BE3652569410032A35C]{{dead link|date=July 2010}}</ref> -->
In the mid-20th century, the AIYM pressed the [[Government of India]] to form a Yadav regiment in the [[Indian Army]], following the  performance of some caste members in the [[1962 Sino-Indian War|Sino-Indian War]] at [[Rezang La]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] on 18 November 1962.<ref>{{cite book |title=Society in India |volume=2 |first=David Goodman |last=Mandelbaum |authorlink=David Goodman Mandelbaum |publisher=University of California Press |location=Berkeley |year=1970 |isbn=978-0-520-01623-1 |page=444 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=igfd9YYCqf8C}}</ref>
