Ahirs as Yadavs[edit]
The term Ahir is often seen as synonymous with Yadav, because these are two names of the same community.[1][2] In the 1881 census records of the British empire, the Yadavs are identified as Ahirs.[3] The Mahabharata and other authori-tative works use the three terms-Ahir, Yadav and Gopa synonymous.[4][5] 2409:4085:8D1D:4B36:0:0:8849:DA09 (talk) 18:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
