The Majhraut[1] or Majraut[2] is a clan of Ahir (Yadav) that inhabits the Indian state of Bihar and Jharkhand.[3][4][5][6] They are also found in different parts of Nepal.[7] They claim to be descendants of the Yadava king Madhu of Mathura.[8][9]

Like Krishnaut even Majhraut Ahirs never sold either milk, ghee or butter and have, to a large extent, were cultivators. Some of them were landlords of large estates.[10]

Origin and history

[edit]

The Yadavs who migrated from Mathura (Braj) to Bihar and its surrounding areas came to be known as Mathraut or Majrauth.[11]

List of Rulers and chieftains

[edit]

In Bihar and Jharkhand there were many rulers and zamindars belonging to the Ahir (Yadav) caste.[12] During British Raj, the Ahir zamindars were predominantly found in northern and eastern parts of Bihar. Most of them belonged to Krishnaut and Majhraut clans of Ahir.[13][14]

Distribution

[edit]

Majhrauts are found all over Bihar but numerically they exceed other sub-caste in Saharsa and it's adjoining district of Bihar.[23] While most Yadavs were small scale peasants in North and Central India, a small number of them acquired land in newly reclaimed area of Eastern Bihar (Purnea and Saharsa) and became big land holders.[24]
