In the [[Hindus|Hindu]] tradition, '''Gwalvanshi''' is a term for those who claim descent from the ''Gwala'' or herdsman dynasty and the [[Gopi]]s, who played with the god Krishna in the woods of [[Vrindavan]] and [[Gokul]]. The term indicates an association with sacred cows.
 
==Etymology==
The term Gwal was derived from ''Gopal'' or "protector of cows"<ref name="Albert">{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-kmTe1XVcW4C&pg=PA162 | title=Handbook of Ethnic Conflict: International Perspectives Volume 0 of International and Cultural Psychology | publisher=Springer Science & Business Media | author=Dan Landis, Rosita D.
