Yadavs in Haryana
Yadavs in Haryana are members of the Yadav caste living in the Indian state of Haryana. They also know as Yaduvanshi, Ahir and Rao Sahab. They are mostly agriculturists and also make first-rate soldiers. The British enlisted them in their Army though they had fought against them in 1857.[1] According to historian Pran Nath Chopra (1982), The Yadavs are an important community of Haryana , although numerically they constitute less than 10 per cent of the total population. Most of them live in the region around Rewari and Narnaul which is therefore known as Ahirwal or the abode of Ahirs.[2]
