What is "ajgar"

AJGAR was a suggested caste alliance of the Ahir, Jat, Gujar and Rajputs castes. The theoretical alliance was first proposed by Sir Chhotu Ram, a rural leader and politician in pre-independence India. AJGAR later morphed into MAJGAR, by adding Muslims to the equation. He also included Muslims. thus propagating both AJGAR and MAJGAR theories in the 1930s.

The theory was later used after independence by Charan Singh in the 1970s in Uttar Pradesh to create Votebank for his party and to break the monopoly of Indian National Congress. Choudhary Charan Singh subscribed to this theory that Ahir, Jat, Gurjar and Rajput belong to the same social and racial group, the Kshatriya.
