Colonial description

The largest subdivisions of Yaduvansh in Braj-Ahirwal area are the Ghosi, Kamariya, Phataks and Nandvanshis. However today they all recognise themselves to be Yaduvanshi or Krishnavanshi Yadavs. In the Braj-Ahirwal region, the Ghosi and other subdivisions of Yaduvansh were gradually absorbed into the Nandvanshi category of landlords and into the Yaduvanshi subdivision as a consequence of British so-called "official" ethnographies and racial theories. The landlords liked the Yaduvanshi title because they considered it to be prestigious. Distribution
In the Braj-Ahirwal area, the Ghosi are among the largest subdivisions of Yadav along with the Kamariyas, Gwalvanshis (though very less) and Nandvanshis. In Madhya Pradesh, they are spread across whole lot in the full state. In Bihar, they are found in the Middle & Eastern districts.
