Bihari Rajputs refers to the people of Rajput community of the eastern state Bihar and adjoining region of Uttar Pradesh. Babu Saheb (or Babu Sahib) is a term or sobriquet[1] used mainly in the Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh[2] and Jharkhand to describe members of the Rajput caste[3] who traditionally formed part of the royalty and feudal elite respectively.[4][5][6]
Legendary accounts state that from 1200 CE, many Rajput groups moved eastwards towards the Eastern Gangetic plains forming their own chieftaincies.[7] These minor Rajput kingdoms were dotted all over the Gangetic plains in modern-day Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.[8] During this process, petty clashes occurred with the local population and in some cases, alliances were formed.[7] Among these Rajput chieftaincies were the Bhojpur zamindars[9] and the taluks of Awadh.[10]
The immigration of Rajput clan chiefs into these parts of the Gangetic plains also contributed the agricultural appropriation of previously forested areas, especially in South Bihar.[11] Some have linked this eastwards expansion with the onset of Ghurid invasion in the West.[11]
From as early as the 16th century, Rajput soldiers from the eastern regions of Bihar and Awadh, were recruited as mercenaries for Rajputs in the west, particularly in the Malwa region.[12]
Kolff describes some of the Rajputs of Bihar, Awadh and Varanasi with the terminology "Pseudo Rajput".These Pseudo Rajputs or the eastern Rajput often accompanied the Rajput of Rajasthan in their battles with the hordes of their supporters.They led the band of warriors called Purbiyas in order to assist their western counterparts but were notorious for frequently changing their allegiance as Silhadi did in the Battle against Babur, when he deserted Rana Sanga in the Battle of Khanwa leading to defeat of Rajput contingents and consolidation of Mughal empire in India.[13][14]
