Dhadhor (also known as Dhirhor, Dharhor, Dhindhor, Danhor and Dhanroar) is a clan of Ahirs Their origin is basically from Dhundhar[1] Basically they claim to be descendants of Vajranabh Who was the great grandson of Shri Krishna.[2]
Origin
According to the Calcutta Review : "Among the forefathers of Ahirs there were two brothers, viz., Lorik and Deosi, who lived together in the same house with a common wife. By their joint wife they had seven sons, who were the founders of the seven sub-castes or sub-divisions of Ahirs, and whose names were Gwálbans, Bhurtiya, Dhindhor, Jhikia, Aheri, Banmanush and Gonder." There is also a theory that they are descendants of Vijaypal who settled in Dhundhar region along with all the Yaduvanshis after the Muslim invader [3]
Tushreeh-ul-Akwam amongst the Doab Ahirs.
According to John Collinson Nesfield, Dhadhor or Dhandhor etymologically means, "one whose wealth lies in cattle."
Raja Heerchandra of Jaunpur
On the basis of history, it is said that during the period of Hindu kings, the rule of Jaunpur was in the hands of Ahir rulers. The first Ahir ruler of Jaunpur is believed to be Heera Chandra Yadav. It is believed that the temple of Chaukiya Devi was built by the Yadavs as the Kul Devi.[4] Maharaja Heerachandra Yadav and other rulers of his generation are worshipped as Ahir Veer Baba of Jaunpur.
In the earlier times in eastern Uttar Pradesh, if any king or any person of Ahir caste used to die for the protection of the society, then people used to build their temples and started worshipping them as Veer Baba and they worship them even today.
According to historian planalp, Veer Babas of Jaunpur originated from Dadhor/Dhadhor Ahirs.[5]
Bhiti Rawat Riyasat & Other Zamindaris
They had control over a big jagir or estate in Hassanpur-Maghar (the posessors of this estate were of partly-Rajput descent) of the Gorakhpur district (which again was originally given to them on the condition that they should keep the adjacent forests free from depredators). Which in latter times came to be known as Bhiti-Rawat.
Occupation
According to Yadav Mahasabha, within the 350 gotras of the Ahirs they were enlisted as the buffalo-breeders.
Culture & Population
Though in small numbers but they sing Lorikayan in Bhojpuri dialect.
They also pray Dhano, a tutelary deity of Gonds.
According to Jack Planalp, the Bir Babas of Senapur in Jaunpur originated with the Dharhor Ahirs of the area.
According to Uttar Pradesh Gazetteers, the vast majority of Ahirs in Eastern Uttar Pradesh belong to the Gwalbans subcaste and the rest to Dhindhor clan. They are also found in some parts of Bihar, specifically in old Shahabad.
Social level
Shivnath Chaudhari (who himself was a Dhadhor Loriki singer) stated to Shyam Manohar Pandey that despite of several differences Dhadhors rank lower to that to Gwálbans Ahirs.
