[edit] Following needs reference

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. 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 .

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.
