B. M. Reddy et al.:
Patterns of Variation Among Dhangars, Coll. Antropol. 25 (2001) 2: 425–442.
Below Genetic graph show
that (Fig.4) Hatkar,Shegar,zende,Mendhe,Khutekar,Kurumwar(Kuruba),Hande,Ahir
Dhangars are Genetically closer.
Genetically closest
Hatkar and Shegar are genetically very closest. Shegar Dhangar claims that they
have nothing to do with Dhangars they are descendant from Rajput of Rajsthan.
But now Shegar and Hatkar don't marry with each other. But this is not the
fact.In actual Rajput are emerged from Dhangars.
Dr.Devadatta Ramchandra
Bhandarkar and other western scholars have proved that Rajput are emerged from
Gurjars.Gurjars and Hatkar have common origin.
Kannad Origin of Khutekar
Dhangars.
As per DR. R.C. Dhere Holkars are Khutekar Dhangrs and Emigrated from
Karnataka.(R. C. Dhere, Shikar Shingnapurcha ShriShambhu Mahadeo, 2001, Pune,
(Marathi), Pg. 276, 277, 288, 297, 307, 312, 338, 384, 221, 143, 127, 78, 67,
45, 2)
Khutekar,Unnikanana,Kurumwar
(Kuruba),Hande,Mendhe,zende Dhangars Have Kannad origin and they are
genetically closer to Hatkars.
Out of that Mendhe and
Zende who are supposed to be same stock of Hatkars are closer to Khutekar
Dhanagrs. It proves Hatkar and Khutekar have same origin.
Hande Surname is found
potentially in present Maratha caste of Kolhapur district of Maharashtra and
Belgaon district of karnataka and some other district of Maharashtra.
Ahir Dhangars who speak
Ahirani a mixed dialect of Gujrathi and Marathi should show closer affinity to
ladshe and Dange who have supposed to be come from Gujrath.Hatkars and Dange
marry each other.
Hatkars,Zhende,Mendhe,Thellari
and Dange Dhangars claim their origin as a single caste.
Gadhari-Nikhar and
Gadhari-Dhengar are recently migrated from North and speak Hindi.
There is no any relation between shegar and dhangar...
