Q. Which caste is commonly known as "Gopa" in India and Nepal?
Answer: Ahir
Notes: "Gopa" is a synonym for the Ahir (Yadav) caste, especially in Bihar and Nepal's Terai region. The Sanskrit word "Gopa" means cowherd. Ancient texts like Brhatkathaslokasamgraha consider Abhira and Gopa as the same group. Amarakosha lists Gopa and similar terms as synonyms for Abhira.
