The term Hindu Ghosi (or Ghoshi, Ghosee, Ghosi Thakur, Ghosi Yadav) refers to a community of the Hindu Ahir caste.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}}

In the few Western districts of Uttar Pradesh, the Ghosi Ahirs have been better than others, both in number and influence and hence have attracted the attention of the present political parties. Politicians often plan and expect a split among the different Ahir groups, particularly the Ghosi and Kamariya groups.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} Kamariyas, who used to live a nomadic lifestyle, and unlike Ghosis were mostly uncivilized, are regarded as having lower status than the Ghosis.[1]{{dubious|date=January 2019}}

Myth of origin

They also claim their importance saying that the sacred texts have mentioned them under the name of Ghosas.[1] The term Ghosa refers to a settlement of the Abhira people[2] or a temporary encampment of cowherds, which was the occupation of those people.[3]

Colonial description

The largest subdivisions of Ahirs in Braj-Ahirwal area are the Ghosi, Kamariya, Phataks and Nandvanshis. However today they all recognise themselves to be Yaduvanshi or Krishnavanshi Yadavs.[4]{{dubious|date=January 2019}}

In the Braj-Ahirwal region, the Ghosi and other subdivisions of Ahirs were gradually absorbed into the Nandvanshi category of landlords and into the Yaduvanshi subdivision as a consequence of British so-called "official" ethnographies and racial theories. The landlords liked the Nandvanshi title because they considered it to be prestigious.[5]{{dubious|date=January 2019}}

Distribution

In the Braj-Ahirwal area, the Ghosi are among the largest Ahir subdivisions, along with the Kamariyas, Gwalvanshis and Nandvanshis.[6]{{dubious|date=January 2019}}
