They are reckoned in the Tushreeh-ul-Akwam amongst the Doab Ahirs. [1] The Dharhor Ahirs claim to have been the first settlers of the Senapur village of Jaunpur District, and it may be that they had the responsibility of protecting the original Thakur settlers. [2] They are the second-most represented subcastes of Yadav in Purvanchal(Eastern region of Uttar Pradesh) after the Gwalvanshi subcaste. [3]
