The Ahar are a Hindu caste in India. The term "Ahar" was historically associated with the Yadav caste, along with the term "Ahir". At the start of the 20th century, 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. They claim to be descended from Yadu Race. Ahar, also called Ahir or Yadav is a peasant or agricultural caste of North India.
