The Ahir Rajput[1] also known as Yaduvanshi Rajput are descendants of the Abhira or Yaduvanshi Ahirs.[2][3][4] Mr. Bhattacharya, a distinguished historian, writes in his book the "Indian Castes and Tribes", It seens very probable that the Yaduvanshi Rajputs are derived from the Yaduvanshi Ahirs.[5][6][7] Some scholars think the Chudasamas, Jadejas and Devagiri Yadavas are Ahirs.[8]
List of Ahir Originated Rajputs[edit]
Some historians believe Yaduvanshi Rajputs are banjaras or Muslims who started claiming they are Yaduvanshi to increase their Social status.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
James Tod demonstrated that Ahirs were included into the list of 36 royal races of Rajasthan (Tod, 1829, Vol.1, p. 69 ii,p. 358).[16]

the Abhira were divided into thirty-six lineage groups. It has also been described in 'Nagvansa' written by Pradyumn Singh (quoted by Singh 1945), as thirty-six' Kuris. It shows that the Abhira are the Kshatriya and were called both Kshatriya and Rajput. the Yadubansi Kshatriyas were originally Ahirs". In the old literature thirty-six sections of the Kshatriya caste have been mentioned'. Chand Bardai, a Kshatriya, was one of the eminent persons in the Prithviraj Chauhan's cabinet and a well-known poet, who has written "Prithviraj Raso". At one place, he has mentioned the 'Abhira' as a section of the Kshatriya caste. The above writings show that the Abhira is a section of Kshatriya caste. This is also confirmed by Shakti Sangam Tantra which says "Those who are begotten by king Ahuk, are Abhira". Jati Vivekadhyayo also confirms this conception and mentions that "those who are born in the Ahuk lineage, are called Abhira".

The Gūjars, who came to India at a later period, form a parallel case; although the Gujar caste, which is derived from them, is far less important than the Ahir, the Gūjars have also been the parents of several Rajput clans.
