Vanskar/Vanshkar/Dhanuk/Mandal/Brars are same castes. They are Kshatriyas becouse they had expertise in fighting with bow and arrows before the mainstream warfare weapons like swords and guns evolved.They were the most important soldiers in the armies of kings and without them,it was difficult to win a war during those days.They were also the soldiers who attacked first on the enemy's army becouse of fearlessness and bravery.They are classified in different groups (sc/obc/genaral) in different states on the basis of their socio-economic growth those states.For example,Brars are Rajputs in Rajasthan while in states like Up and Mp they have sc status.It is said that even Alaha and Udal were from Vanskar caste as their surname was "Ochhi Jaat Banafalrai" which directly means Vanskar.Even famous historian Muhammad Zaisi in his book "Padmavat" referes to Vanskaras/Dhanuks as great soldiers without them it was impossible to win a war. ￼
