Kamariya Ahir (Yadav)

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Kamaria (Kamariya, Kumheria, kamariha, कमरिया) also known as Yaduvanshi Thakur[1], is a subdivison of Ahirs[2][3][4][5][6][7](Abhira[8]) or Yadav[9][10]. Kamaria Clan includes several (over 100+) gots in it[11]. Kamaria is the second most dominant Ahir subdivision in Western Uttar Pradesh after the Ghosi subclan[12]. They are well known for their Political Dominance over Uttar Pradesh.


The Kuldevi of Kamarias are

  • Kaila Devi
  • Kalika Mata

Origin

Lord Krsna, whom the Kamaria ahir profess to be descendant of.

Locally in Braj region, Which includes Mathura, Shikohabad, Jalesar, Agra, Hathras, Aligarh, Etah, Mainpuri, Etawah and Farrukhabad districts of Uttar Pradesh[13].

Kamarias profess to be descendants from Yaduvansha (Yadav Vansha of Krishna vansh[14]) Lineage.

The Kamaria clan claims descent from Kamalnayan, an Ahir king from the Mahabharata era. 

In the Braj region, the Kamaria and other subdivisions of Ahirs were gradually absorbed into the Nandvanshi category of landlords and into the Yaduvanshi subdivision as a consequence of British so-called "official" ethnographies and racial theories.[15]

History

Thakur Hargayan Singh Yadav, thakur of a ruling chief, Khalthaun, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, Was born in year 1864, and succeeded to the gadi in 1883. The area of the State was 5 square miles ; its population was about 8000, chiefly Hindus. The Thakur maintained a military force of 15 cavalry and 50 infantry.[16] [He was probably from Kamaria clan, as the Kamaria Yadav of Gwalior has the title of Thakur[1]]


There is a fair held on Sundays in a village of Mainpuri, named Paindhat, where the Kamaria branch have a festival that is held in the light fortnight of Asarh and Magh and offering of coconut and money are made to a temple for a Brahman hero having the same name as the village and to an Ahir named Jagaiya. There is a chabutra of an nameless Dhanuk before whose platform young pigs are sacrificed.The yearly offering taken by the zamindars were estimated at Rs. 5000.[17][18][19]

The Ahir Para of Mathura, i.e.the Sadar Bazaar is said to be established by two families originally from Kannauj, Chaudhari Parivar (the Head Family) and Dudh Parivar (the Milk Family). The Milk Family belonged to Tulsi Ram, a Sepoy of Deshwar got of the Kamaria clan.[20] This family as of today owns the Mahadev Ghat Akhara.[21][22]

The Statistical Data of Mainpuri and Farrukhabad resulted in the discovery that in a large number of villages belonging to the Ahirs of Kamaria and Ghosi stocks the proportion of girls to the total minor population was smaller even that among the Rajputs, and the statistics indicated a widespread prevalence of the crime among the Ahirs.[23]

A famous idiom among the Ahirs of Braj is, "Ghosiya ghosat rahe kamariya byah le gayo"[24] (घोसिया सोचता ही रहा, कमरिया ब्याह ले गया)[25]. The story behind this idiom is rooted in a traditional tale. According to the legend, a father accidentally arranged his daughter’s marriage to two men—Kamaria and Ghosi. On the wedding day, both grooms arrived at the bride's home. In an attempt to resolve the situation, the father placed an obstacle in the path of the wedding procession, declaring that the first groom to reach the wedding altar (mandap) would marry his daughter. While Ghosi stood still, pondering what to do, Kamaria quickly removed the obstacle and raced ahead, reaching the mandap first and marrying the girl.[26] This story is said to be the origin of the idiom, which reflects the idea that hesitation or indecision can lead to missed opportunities, while prompt action may lead to success.
