The Hindu Ghosi or Ghosi Thakur[1] are a community of Ahirs (Yadav) in India.[1] They are divided into various sections and lineages.[2] The Ghosis have a system of panches and hereditary chaudhris. If one of the latter's line fail, his widow may adopt a son to succeed him, or, failing such adoption, the panch elects a fit person.[2]
