Please follow the new Link on Yadava or Yadav History on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadava

The following wiki page on Yadav History is not correct and its wrong representation of Yadav History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadav

All of you must have noticed that the wiki page on Yadav's was distorted and currently the “Yadav” article on wiki is derogatory and is presenting a very wrong and false history about Yadav’s. You can yourself compare by clicking the “View History” tab on the Wikipedia “Yadav” article and compare the older version like this one with newer versions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yadav&oldid=377781413

Compare the above version with this one (click the link below) which was edited by Mathew Vanitas a Christian priest and he wrote Yadavs are sudras:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yadav&oldid=434530227

and with this one which was edited by Sitush, another Christian from United Kingdom who says that “Yadavs” are non-elite class:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yadav&oldid=551970237

You can compare all the older version of wiki (wikipedias) “Yadav” article with the current one by clicking the “View History” TAB on the wiki’s Yadav page.

So you can yourself see that the older version of wiki’s “Yadav” article claimed that Yadav’s are Elite, Royal, Chandravanshi Kshatriya’s clan and descendents of Lord Krishna and Yadu, where’s the newer version is just talking opposite and all non-sense.

The previous information about Yadav on Wikipedia has been changed todefame Yadavs so that Yadavs convert to some other religion. Lot of people are jealous of our holy roots and they along with some stupid Susan Bayly have called us non- elite and sudra class. Unfortunately Yadav page on wiki was started by a Christian group who are also the owner of websites likehttp://www.godlovesyadav.org/, http://www.reachtheyadav.com/ etc. I have several time wrote to the authors of the Yadav page on wiki, but his/her whole motive is to convert Yadavs to Christianity by showing them that Yadavs are neglected in Hinduism. This is a big conspiracy by Christian groups to delusion Yadavs.

The Yadav page on wiki belongs to a person who is himself not a Yadav. He is trying best to hide the real glories of Yadavs. What is needed is dedicated Yadav’s who can constantly edit the “Yadav” article on wiki to the point that the conspirator’s get tired off from distorting it again.

Wikipedia is no authority on any subject, since most articles are written & posted by volunteers & submitted online. Many times people are envious of the glorious pasts of Yadav's & they try to minimize their glories by spreading misinformation. It's very surprising that on what basis they are telling that Yadav's are Sudras. Mostly in India people do not know much about cast system & what our scriptures say about it. I will humbly request you to go through the article "Yadav's in Cast system" on my websitehttp://yadavhistory.com/yadavs_in_caste_system where we have tried to put the opinion of scriptures.
