HistoryEdit
The All India Meo Sabha was founded by the Late Chaudhary Rahim Khan in 1967. It was responsible for uniting the 'Meo Samaj' (Mewati people) that were scattered across Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, post independence. The organization under the leadership of Chaudhary Rahim Khan made demands for a university in Mewat, extension of railway lines to the Mewat region of Rajasthan and Haryana, as well as the recognition of the ethnic Meos as part of the Other Backwards Class in India and granting them reservations accordingly due to their economically and educationally disadvantaged status in Indian society.[2]
AchievementsEdit
- Ethnic Meos are now recognised as a part of the Other Backwards Class classification in the Government of India.[3]
- Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College is the first and currently only Medical College recognised by the Medical Council of India in the Mewat region of Haryana.[4]
- There is also the Mewat Engineering College now functional in Nuh, Haryana.[5]
- Formation of Delhi-Nuh Railway Line as requested by Chaudhary Rahim Khan.[6]
