Yaduvanshi
Yaduvanshi or Yaduvansh Kshatriya is used for the people of India who claim themselves to be the descendants of the ancient king Yadu. Yaduvanshi Kshatriyas are basically Rajput's[1] . There are 5 remaining branches of the Yaduvansh Empire - first Bhati, Jadeja, Jadaun, Chudasama and Yadav (Maratha) of Devagiri.[2] This is the main and basic branch of the five Yaduvansh who are basically Kshatriyas. In these, Bhati is considered the head of the entire Yadukul.[3] Archaeology survey of India proves Bhati dynasty Bhatis have the umbrella of Lord Shri Krishna. Various test shows that the umbrella belongs to Shri Krishna himself.[4] Khanzada Muslims of Tijara also trace their origin from Yaduvanshi Rajputs. The Muslim dynasty of Mysore Empire has also been said to be the descendants of the Yadav clan. Chudasama Rajputs have also been considered originally Vrishnis of Sindh in various historical sources. But there is another caste in India which calls itself Yaduvanshi and that is Ahir. The biggest enemies of Yaduvansh dynasty were Abhir (Ahir) who have been called foreign demons Shudra in Ramayana and Mahabharata. When the Yaduvansh dynasty was at its worst during the destruction of Dwarka, the people who plundered them were the Abhirs (Ahirs).[5][6]
