Yadav

Yādav è un termine per riferirsi ad un gruppo di comunità agricola-guerriero-pastorale^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4],o caste, che discendono dal mitologico re Yadu.

Il termine Yadav include ora diverse caste tradizionali di proprietari terrieri come gli Ahiri della cintura indù (una regione linguistica dell'India centro-settentrionale), i Gavli del Maharashtra[1], i Goala dell' Andhra Pradesh e i Konar del Tamil Nadu. Nella regione della cintura indù, "Ahir", "Gwala" e "Yadav" sono sinonimi.

In molti stati dell'India, gli Yadav sono considerati nella categoria delle "altre classi arretrate".
