The People's Volunteer Organisation (Matrabashi: Logõn ke Svayamsevaka Saṅgha, LSS) is an Arthani left-wing, volunteer, paramilitary organisation. It is closely associated with the Arthani-led Satrian Section of the Workers' International, sharing many close ideological and organisational links.
It was founded in 1922 as part of the Satrian anti-colonialist movement to provide character training through discipline and to unite Satria to form a pan-Satrian state. During the leadership of Nalini Gupta, the organisation became overtly leftist and represented the leftist factions of the Azad Fauj. After the LSS split from the Azad Fauj after the Great War, it shifted its political base to modern day Arthasthan. The organisation's militia forces fought the Arthani Liberation War against Etruria and then various Satrian forces to secure Arthasthan's independence. After the war, it founded the Satrian Section as its main political wing. Gradually, the LSS grew into a prominent Arthani nationalist umbrella organisation that formed several affiliated organisations.
Today, it is one of the largest organisations in the world with over 10 million members and it has a presence in all facets of Arthani society. While its political influence has largely been superseded by the Satrian Section, it still wields immesense influence over Arthani society through the various affiliated organisations it leads. These organisations include schools, charities, labor unions, and clubs that it directly controls as well as the various organisations part of the Satrian Section.
