He used a shlok of which is “Musal parv,ADHYAY 7,SHLOK 47 and said this shlok tells a pure lie that ahirs were originally shudra . He used many wrongly translated shloks.

I am from braj region I know about my culture which our people got from our ancestors which doesn’t tells that we are not yadav.
People say ahirs started using yadav in 1920 (acc. to a report) but its a joke . I know hundreds of Yadavs who doesn’t have yadav in their name in my family too.
So this is the whole truth .

The Ahirs are descendants of the Abhiras. In the Vedas and Puranas, the Ahirs/Abhiras are described as a warrior tribe. They are Kshatriyas.

The Ahir (also known as Yadav) community has a long tradition of valor and leadership in Indian history. Historically identified with the Abhira tribe mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts, Ahirs are considered to be descendants of the Yadu dynasty, which also produced Lord Krishna, one of the most revered figures in Indian culture.[1]
Medieval and Regional Leadership
[edit]
During the medieval period, Ahir rulers and local chieftains were found across regions like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Northern India. In Maharashtra, historical accounts mention Ahir zamindars and warriors who contributed to the defense of Devgiri (Daulatabad) and nearby regions during early invasions.[2]
In North India, particularly in parts of Rehenjla (modern Rehenjala/UP region) and Haryana, Ahir clans participated in local resistance movements and are remembered for their courage in defending their territories.[3]
Contribution to Indian Freedom and Culture
[edit]
Ahirs also played a notable role in the Indian freedom struggle, particularly during the Revolt of 1857, where Ahir soldiers served bravely in the British Indian Army regiments that later rebelled.[4]
Their legacy continues today through cultural symbols, festivals, and organizations preserving the Yadav–Ahir heritage of bravery, equality, and devotion to Krishna.
There was a greek traveler Megasthenes who came to india 2300 yrs ago. He wrote about a city named methura(Mathura) and the people living there . He called them sorsenoids which surely meant the people of Maharaj Sursen who the a Yaduvanshi Ruler. He also wrote that sursenoides worship Herakles-surely means Hari-kul-esth.
Acc. to him the city people were having cattles(cows) and the city was powerful since it was equippedwith army…..
NOW
After Musla yuddh remaining yadav moved to north around Present mathura and delhi region.
Sursenoids-mathura city (peole had cattles and are soldiers too)
In Braj region/Near braj region/North indian region-Ahir are in majority and have doing the same work as mentioned by the Megasthanes and working Krishna as their ishth dev.
But still people say…ahirs are not yadavs and some say ahirs are shudra😂.

I wonder why people dont agree and don’t talk on facts , they only bring fake proof.
