The Rajbhar (also spelled Rajbhaar) are a community of the state of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Nepal and other states of India.This race,variouslyknown by the term Rajbhar,Bharat,Bharpatwa,and Bhar,once inhabited a wide tract of country extending from Gorruckpore(Gorakhpur) in northern india to Saugor(Sagar) in central India.


Influenced by the Arya Samaj movement, as were members of other kshatriya castes, Baijnath Prasad Adhyapak published Rajbhar Jati ka Itihas in 1940. This book attempted to prove that the Rajbhar were formerly rulers who were related to the ancient Bhar ruler.
