The second of the other Arya Samaj groups is the Rajput Gahlot Maha Sabha, founded in 1965 when the politics of independence were at the forefront. This group was again formed to protect the interests of a traditionally lower caste group, although they claim to trace their ancestry to the Rajput leaders of the Indian state of Rajasthan despite no records indicating any immigration from that region of India. This group is based today in Port Louis, the capital city, where it maintains a large temple. The group also has about 75 branches around the island, some of them very small.
