Yadavs in Maharashtra or Ahirs in Maharashtra are members of the Ahir/Yadav community of Maharashtra. They are also known as Gavli, Jadhav, Ahir-Rao, Ahire, etc.[1][2] The 1881 census records of the British India stated that the Yadavas who in their turn are identified with the Gaolis (Gavlis) and Ahirs were the dominant race at that time.[3]
History
Some authorities have suggested that Ahirs (today Yadavs) migrated to Maharashtra from Punjab and Sindh in early historic times. other researchers have hypothesized that these people have inhabited Maharashtra for the last 5,000 to 10,000 years.[4]
Dynasties
Abhira
The Puranas claim that the Ahirs or Abhiras were the successors of the Satavahanas. Ishwarsena was the founder of the Abhira dynasty and he started an era which later became known as the Kalchuri-Chedi era. The German scholar F. Kielhorn suggested that the system began in September 248, the year that began with the month of Asvina.[5][6] It was first used in Gujarat and Maharashtra (particularly Northern Maharashtra[7]), from where it spread to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh where it was used until the 13th century CE.
Yadava
In the Puranic geography the country from the Tapti to Deogarh is called the Abhira, or the region of cowherds. It seems probable that they were connected with the Yadavas who were in power in the eighth, and again appear as the rulers of Daulatabad (or Deogiri) in the 12th and 13th century.[8]
