“Yadavas Through the Ages” is more than just a community history. It is a scholarly narrative of continuity and transformation, examining how one community evolved from legendary warriors and kings into a significant modern social group. The book challenges the one-sided representation of Indian history by integrating regional voices and grassroots movements that shaped India’s diverse heritage.

This work is especially valuable for:

• Historians & researchers studying caste, ethnicity, and regional politics

• Students of ancient and medieval Indian history

• Yadava community members seeking insight into their rich legacy

• Libraries, institutions, and sociopolitical scholars
