I don't see why Ahir was removed as a subcaste. Readded it. - Sctele
Dhangars are Kshatriyas??? Can anyone provide some evidence which proves this? - Sctele 17:37, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Great Pallavas, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara Empire were from Dhangars (kurubas ), what more you need to prove that, Dhangars are Kshatriyas. - TT 01:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not that I'm saying that they are or are not (I happen to be Dhangar as well). Its just that I've never actually heard of this in the North, particularly in Maharashtra. Sctele 22:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
BTW, are there any Dhangar community websites, for the Dhangar diaspora to connect to one another, esp. if they are in the USA (in my case)? I myself live in the Washington, D.C. area. Sctele 20:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Dhangars are so unaware and divided that they can not think beyond their livelyhood . Where is then the possibility of having a website of their own. A few years back a young unemployed engineer boy requested the so called social leaders of Dhangar community in a small gathering in which even one IPS officer was present, to have our own website . He himself volunteered to create the website . He requested them to take necessary initiative . However the result is that there is still a question that, " Is there a website of Dhangars ?"
Dhangars are aborigins of Indian subcontinent, They existed even before the aryans invaded Indus valley . Krishna,of Mathura i.e. Brija area was also a Dhangar. It has been clearly mentioned by many historians that krishna was a Shepherd, who led the revolutionary war against the Aryan warrior raja Indra. Krishna ultimately won the war against the Aryans. The prevailing myth that he was Ahir is very much wrong. Later due to assimilation of the aryan and aborgins' Dravidian culture,Dravidians being in majority, Krishna was adopted as the Aryan God and was termed as Yadav Kshatriya in various texts which were written during the uprising period of Bhagwata Dharma (i.e. Hindu Dharma)during the reign of Gupta kings . Ahirs are not the actual Yadavas. In fact Ahirs are the decendants of Abhir tribe which invaded India during first century A.D. It is an open fact and has been written by each and every historians. How the decendants of Abhir tribe can claim their decent from God Krishna, who had already been there in India before the Abhirs existed in India itself. Dhangars are the actual decendants of God krishna but due to their lack of awareness they did not know the history and others have staked the claim and have successfully . Hereabove itself it is appearing that the Hoyasala dynasty belonged to Dhangar caste. It is very much correct. I would add further a fact that the Bhonsla dynasty of Chhatrapati Shivaji was Hoyasala later known as Bhonsala. Dr. Rajendra Yadav, the famous writer and former Chairman of Prasar Bharti, has written in the editorial of magazine "Hsns" that Shivaji was a shepherd. Same has been proved by the famous Marathi historian Shri R.C.Dhere in his book "Sri Shikhar Shingnapoorcha Shambhoo Mahadev". The first statue installed in parliament house (at its 5th gate) was of the great Indian Emperor Chandragupta Maurya by Shri Hilda Selegman . It is incribed on it that " Shepherd boy Chandragupta Maurya dreaming of the India he was to create ". This along with other historical written evidences proves that the famous Maurya dynasty was also of Dhangars. The chandels of Kalinjar, the kings who built the famous temples of Khajuraho, also were Dhangars. They rose to kingship from the humble job of sheep rearing like the Haihar Bukkaraya of Vijayanagar Empire. Pal kings of Bengal, Sangeet Samrat Tansen in the court of Akbar, Sultan of Delhi Khusrav Shah( for 3 months between Khiljis and Tughalaks)and Anhilpal both of Gujrat, Bappa Rawal and Ajpal Chauhan ( grandfather of Prathvi raj Chauhan) both of Rajasthan, also had their origin from the Shepherds. for details and evidence please contact.
