'''Jadav''' is a [[caste system in India|caste]] of India who are classified as an [[Other Backwards Class]] in the country's [[reservation in India|system of positive discrimination]]. They have a presence in the states of [[Gujarat]]{{sfnp|Ghassem-Fachandi|2012|p=167|ps=}} and [[Rajasthan]].{{sfnp|Ghassem-Fachandi|2012|p=294|ps=}}<br />

The Jadav claim to a [[Rajput]] heritage, and thus to be [[kshatriya]] in the traditional [[varna (Hinduism)|varna]] ritual ranking system of Hinduism, is rejected by most other Rajput communities. Their [[endogamy]], which is commonly thought to be an implicit feature of Indian castes, is a recent development, according to Ghanshyam Shah; they previously practised [[hypergamy]] by marrying their women with Rajputs.{{sfnp|Ghassem-Fachandi|2012|p=294|ps=}}<br />
