The Akhil Bharatiya Samaj

Central body of the Rao Sirdar lineage — constituted 1978, registered as a charitable trust in 1982.

Our Purpose

The Akhil Bharatiya Rao Sirdar Samaj is the central body of a dispersed lineage — soldiers, scholars, and householders across India and the diaspora. We coordinate the sammelans, and hold the four pillars of shaurya, vidya, dharma, and sewa.

Constituted in 1978 and registered as a charitable trust in 1982, the samaj is governed by an elected central committee and twenty-four regional units. Membership is by descent and verified by the local unit.

The Four Pillars

Shaurya — Valour

The ancestral discipline of the kshatriya — duty without fear, service without self. Preserved in our sammelans, honoured in our vibhutiyan chronicles.

Vidya — Learning

The Vidya Nidhi scholarship supports children of the samaj across schools, colleges, and research. Scholarship rolls are printed in the patrika each year.

Dharma — Tradition

Kul-devi yatras, mandir trust restoration, and the rituals of the ancestral villages — held in trust by the samaj so the next generation inherits them intact.

Sewa — Service

The Welfare Kosh provides medical aid, crisis support, and assistance to widows and elders of the samaj. Every rupee is recorded in the annual report.
