The Ahir(Kshatriya Yadav) clans are the various subsets of the Ahir community of India.
In North India
Yaduvanshi
The Yaduvanshi Ahir (also spelled Yadubansis, Yadubans, Yadavanshi, Yadavamshi) claim descent from the ancient Yadava tribe of Krishna.[1] The Yaduvanshi trace their origin to Yadu and whole Yadav caste are said to be Yaduvanshis.
Nandvanshi
A legendary story of the origin of the Nandvanshi Ahirs narrates that on his way to kill the rakshasas, Krishna crossed the river Yamuna accompanied by the Gwals; those that crossed the river with him became the Ahir Nandavanshi.[2]
Gwalvanshi / Gwals / Gope
The Gwalvanshi Ahirs also known as Gwals and Gopes are historically associated with cowherding.[citation needed] At the turn of the century, many turned into business and other vocations in a big way.[3]
Gosi
The Ghosi are a community found mainly in North India. The Ghosi (Muslims) claim descent from Rathore Rajput, Gurjar and Ahir communities.
The Hindu Ghosi trace their origin to King Nand, the professed ancestor of Yaduvanshi Ahirs.[4]

Locally in Braj region, Which includes Mathura, Shikohabad, Jalesar, Agra, Hathras, Aligarh, Etah, Mainpuri and Farrukhabad districts of Uttar Pradesh,[5] Phataks are regarded as more Rajput than Yadav(Ahir).[6] The Phatak clan claim to be descended from a Sisodia Raja of Chittore who was married to the daughter of Digpal, Raja of Mahaban, an Ahir.[7][need quotation to verify]
The legend goes as : "once the Raja of Chittor was invaded by the emperor of Delhi. One out of the 12 gates (Phataks) of the city resisted. To commemorate the signal of bravery of the guard of the 12 gate, the king issued a decree that they and their descendants should forever be known after the name of Phatak."[6]
