The Ahars are a Hindu caste in India. The term "Ahar" was historically associated with the Yadav caste, along with the term "Ahir". The group labelled Ahar were generally found in a few west-central districts of India, but in the 1931 census of India appeared in large numbers recorded in the north-central districts, though not in any of the districts between the former and latter.[1] They claim to be descended from Yadu Race.[2]
According to M. A. Sherring, this clan is most probably connected with the Ahirs already noticed, although they will by no means acknowledge any relationship to them. What-ever may have been their origin, there is no question that now they are a separate caste yet their claim to be descended from the Yaduvansis is the same as that put forward by the Ahirs. According to Sir H. Elliot, the clans designated as Bhatti, Nagawat, Naugorl, Rukar, Basian, Ora, Bukiain, Diswar (Deshwal), Bhusialn, and Birraria, belong to this caste.[7]
