The All India Meo Sabha (English: All India Assembly for Meos) (abbreviation: AIMS) is an Indian political organisation and advocacy group based primarily in the Mewat region of India. It was formed under the leadership of Chaudhary Rahim Khan in 1967.[1]

History

[edit]

The All India Meo Sabha was founded by Chaudhary Rahim Khan in 1967. It was responsible for uniting Meos 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 Scheduled Tribes denomination in India and granting them reservations accordingly due to their economically and educationally disadvantaged status in Indian society.[2]

Newspaper

[edit]

In 1986, the All India Meo Sabha started a Newspaper titled the "Meo Times".
