Once upon a time, Jaisalmer and Karauli states were ruled by Jadaun royal families. The Kuldevi of the royal family of Karauli is Kaila Devi (Yogmaya) who was Krishna's sister, daughter of Nandbaba and Yashoda and Yaduvanshi. Vasudeva saved Krishna from death at the hands of Kansa in Gokul by changing from Nanda's daughter Kaila. When Kansa reached the prison to kill the eighth child of Devaki and started killing her, she appeared in the form of a goddess and went to the sky. She was the goddess Yogamaya herself. 103.57.84.134 (talk) 16:23, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Archaic Raj sources
I noticed that this article's lead excessively relies on using raj era sources, one of the source is literally from the year 1896 by Jogendra Nath Bhattacharya, another archaic source from the 1911 reiterating the same, a 1930 report by Indian statutory comission and a 1943 source by Kanaiyalal_Maneklal_Munshi. I am pretty sure, we cannot use such unreliable sources , especially on caste related articles which fall under both the general aswell as discretionary sanctions. I think the most appropriate action would be to remove them Abhishek0831996 (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Abhishek0831996 We can't use them - see WP:RAJ. Wouldn't surprise me if the "last best version" is from my last edit to it some years ago but I'm on mobile & it's difficult to check & restore the best version using the app. - Sitush (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * your last edit to this article was around two years ago here, it appears that this article has gone through an expansion since then. Some of the removed stuff has also been reinstated . Abhishek0831996 (talk) 17:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand some of the sources come from the "Raj" era, though the British ethnographer James Tod was the one who categorized the 36 Royal Races into the Rajput community. Therefore, if that's the case, we cannot be using the work of James Tod, and cannot classify some clans as "Rajput". No2WesternImperialism (talk) 23:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia, please see WP:RAJ,WP:RSCASTE and guidelines on identifying reliable sources, also guidelines on how to write lead.Sources such as, are completely unreliable. Your recent addition  cites a 1968 publication of Uttarpradesh District(Kheri) Gazzetteers. Although, I'm unsure about their reliability, their usage on caste articles is usually depreciated. Since they have been removed in past cleanups on this article. Also  how reliable are the ASI surveys for caste articles? I'm asking because they have added one as a source in this edit and article uses another ASI source by Lok Nath Soni, an anthropologist.This source is from a geographer, so cannot be used on this article. And finally other parts of this article are supported by a source from [| Encyclopædia Britannica].  ,You're right,restoring your last revision might be a good idea at this point but if we do that there'll be nothing substantial left on this article,so TNTing it might be a better idea.

 * @Abhishek0831996 I wouldn't TNT. They do seem to exist. Just go back to the last best version, however poor that is. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Apparently, there have been sources from the ASI that pointed out the Yaduvanshi origin of the Jadauns, but the source from Bhattacharya is from 1995. No2WesternImperialism (talk) 18:17, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Poor starting
Why does the history page start with "Once upon a time,"? This is a Wikipedia article, not a storybook No2WesternImperialism (talk) 05:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

The Yaduvanshi (Ahir-Rajput) connection
Many sources have stated that the Jadon Rajputs evolved from Yaduvanshis who like the Ahirs claim descent from Yadu. Hence, some historians link them with the Yadavas and associate themselves as "Yadu Rajputs" or "Yadava Rajputs". No2WesternImperialism (talk) 19:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @No2WesternImperialism no bro the yadav word originally belongs to jadon rajputs but after 1920 a obc caste know as Ahir or abhir started using it as there surname just for there caste upliftment.
 * the word jadon is a dialect of name yadu(A mythological figure).
 * jadons and it's branches like bhati jadeja, jadhav, aphariya(a gotr in ahir community), etc are the only descendants of shree krishna this thing is also mentioned in the book of col James Todd the annals of Rajasthan
 * aphariya ahirs and sinsinwar jaat are originated form jadon rajputs Rahul pal jadoun (talk) 13:13, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * there is no caste called obc caste obc reservation started In 1992 and Ahirs or yadavs adopted Yadav surname for unity they were always yadavs 106.207.181.127 (talk) 22:27, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
