"सनातन हिन्दू एकता जिंदाबाद" "धानक एकता जिंदाबाद "
Yogesh Kirar - National President
The All India Dhanak Organisation is the only nationally registered organisation working for the upliftment and rights of the Dhanak, Dhanuk, and Dhanka communities, as well as other suppressed people of India. According to the Census of India, the population of the Dhanak Samaj is over 50 million. However, it is a matter of great regret that 80% of this population lives below the poverty line. Even after 71 years of independence, we—the Dhanak Samaj—continue to fall further behind compared to other communities. The primary reason for this is that none of our leaders truly came forward to fight for our rights or to unite us. And when someone did rise as a leader, they often worked only for their own benefit or that of their families. The All India Dhanak Organisation was founded by our former National President, the late Sh. Dharam Pal Kirar—an ex-Commissioner—who resigned from his post solely to fight openly for the rights of the Dhanak Samaj. He realized that, within the constraints of government service, he could not do enough for our community. I, Yogesh Kirar, the current National President of the All India Dhanak Organisation, would like to share some truths about our Samaj for your awareness. Our community has sacrificed again and again, yet we have received nothing but poverty in return. That is why I am working to unite all Dhanaks across India. One person alone cannot bring change—it requires collective effort. So I humbly seek your blessings, your support, and your presence. Together, we will fight for our rights and claim the share that is rightfully ours, which other communities have been benefiting from for many years.
