About Yuvak Biradari (Bharat)

Founded in 1974, Yuvak Biradari (Bharat) is a dynamic socio-cultural movement inspired by the ideals enshrined in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Proudly commemorating its golden jubilee year, Yuvak Biradari continues the rich legacy of the esteemed Balraj Sahni and its revered founder, Padmashri Kranti Shah.Drawing philosophical inspiration from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, and from the thoughts and visions of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore, Biradari’s prime concern has been national integration—bringing India’s multicultural and multi-religious society together as One People, One Nation.

Yuvak Biradari has embraced the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (meaning ‘The whole world is One Big Family’). The organization believes in and professes ‘noble karma’, and as its longest-serving president, Late Shri Basu Bhattacharya, famously stated, “Yuvak Biradari strives for prasaar (spread)—and not merely for prachaar (propaganda)”.
