Gaderia

Gadar is cattle-owning caste found in North India. Gadar, Charwaha, and Gwala[1] are synonyms of a herdsman. Some scholars believe that, the name is derived from the Hindi word Gádar (Sheep), though it is debatable because the word Gádar which means sheep, is not a Hindi word it is from Bundeli (language spoken in Bundelkhand region).[2]
