==मूल उत्पत्ति==
===प्राचीन संदर्भ===
 
जयंत गडकरी के कथनानुसार, " पुराणों के विश्लेषण से यह निश्चित रूप से मान्य है कि अंधक,वृष्णि, सत्वत तथा अभीर (अहीर) जातियों को संयुक्त रूप से यादव कहा जाता था जो कि श्रीक़ृष्ण की उपासक थी। परंतु यह भी सत्य है कि पुराणों में मिथक तथा दंतकथाओं के समावेश को नकारा नहीं जा सकता, किन्तु महत्वपूर्ण यह है कि पौराणिक संरचना के तहत एक सुद्र्ण सामाजिक मूल्यो की प्रणाली प्रतिपादित की गयी थी।"<ref>{{cite book |title=Society and religion: from Rugveda to Puranas |first=Jayant |last=Gadkari |url=http://books.google.co.in/books?id=Zst_7qaatp8C |pages=179, 183–184 |publisher=Popular Prakashan |location=Bombay |year=1996 |isbn=978-81-7154-743-2}}</ref><br />
लुकिया मिचेलुत्ती के यादवों पर किए गए शोधानुसार -
{{cquote|यादव जाति के मूल में निहित वंशवाद के विशिष्ट सिद्धांतानुसार, सभी भारतीय गोपालक जातियाँ, उसी यदुवंश से अवतरित हैं जिसमें श्रीक़ृष्ण (गोपालक और क्षत्रिय) का जन्म हुआ था .....उन लोगों में यह दृढ़ विश्वास है कि वे सभी श्रीक़ृष्ण से संबन्धित हैं तथा वर्तमान की यादव जातियाँ उसी प्राचीन वृहद यादव सम समूह से विखंडित होकर बनी हैं।<ref name=Michelutti2004p49>{{cite journal |title="We (Yadavs) are a caste of politicians": Caste and modern politics in a north Indian town |first=Lucia |last=Michelutti|journal=Contributions to Indian Sociology |date=February 2004 |volume=38 |issue=1–2 |page=49 |url=http://cis.sagepub.com/content/38/1-2/43.short |accessdate=2011-08-27 |doi=10.1177/006996670403800103}}</ref>}}
 
===वर्तमान परिपेक्ष्य===
क्रिस्टोफ़ जफ़्फ़ेर्लोट के अनुसार
{{cquote| यादव शब्द कई उपजातियों को आच्छादित करता है जो मूल रूप से अनेक नामों से जानी जाती है, हिन्दी क्षेत्र, पंजाब व गुजरात में- ''अहीर'', महाराष्ट्र, गोवा में - ''गवली'', आंध्र व कर्नाटक में- ''गोल्ला'', तमिलनाडु में - ''कोनर'', केरल में - ''मनियार'' जिनका सामान्य पारंपरिक कार्य चरवाहे, गोपालक व दुग्ध-विक्रेता का था।<ref name=Jaffrelot2003p187>{{cite book |title=India's silent revolution: the rise of the lower castes in North India |page=187 |first=Christophe |last=Jaffrelot |publisher=C.

लुकिया मिचेलुत्ती के विचार से -
{{cquote|यादव लगातार अपने जातिस्वरूप आचरण व कौशल को उनके वंश से जोड़कर देखते आये हैं जिससे उनके वंश की विशिष्टता स्वतः ही व्यक्त होती है। उनके लिए जाति मात्र पदवी नहीं है बल्कि रक्त की गुणवत्ता है, और ये द्रष्टव्य नया नहीं है। अहीर (वर्तमान में यादव) जाति की वंशावली एक सैद्धांतिक क्रम के आदर्शों पर आधारित है तथा उनके पूर्वज, गोपालक योद्धा श्रीकृष्ण पर केंद्रित है, जो कि एक क्षत्रिय थे। <ref>{{cite book|last1=Gupta|first1=Dipankar|last2=Michelutti|first2=Lucia|editor=Dipankar Gupta|title=Caste in Question: Identity or hierarchy?|volume=Contributions to Indian Sociology|year=2004|publisher=Sage Publications|location=नई दिल्ली, California, London|isbn=0-7619-3324-7|pages=48/Lucia Michelutti|chapter=2 ‘We (Yadavs) are a caste of politicians’: Caste and modern politics in a north Indian town}}</ref>}}
