For the Torah Portion, see Behar.{{ethnic group| |group= Bhar |poptime = |popplace = India |langs = • Hindi |rels= |related= • Denotified Tribes (DNTs)•
The Bhar is a caste and also a tribe in India, They are also known as Rajbhar.
Communities that are related to the Rajbhar by occupation in Uttar Pradesh include the Batham, Bind, Dhimar, Dhinwar, Dhewar, Gariya, Gaur, Godia, Gond, Guria, Jhimar, Jhir, Jhinwar, Jhiwar, Kahar, Kashyap, Keot, Kewat, Kharwar, Khairwar, Kumhar, Machua, Majhi, Majhwar, Mallah, Nishad, Prajapati, Rajbhar, Riakwar, Tura, Turah, Turaha, Tureha and Turaiha. There were proposals in 2013 that some or all of these communities in the state should be reclassified as Scheduled Castes under India's system of positive discrimination; this would have involved declassifying them from the Other Backwards Class category. Whether or not this would happen was a significant issue in the campaign for the 2014 Indian general election.
They are among 17 (Most backward castes) MBC communities that were again proposed for Scheduled Caste status by the Samajwadi Party-controlled Government of Uttar Pradesh. However, this proposal, which relates to votebank politics, has been stayed by the courts; the prior attempt had been rejected by the Government of India.
According to survey done by British ICS Russell and his assistant Hira Lal in 1916 later published in The tribes and castes of the Central Provinces of India : Russell, RV . Bhars are the tribes who are mainly found in eastern UP and are engaged in hunting as well as work as landless labourers in other peoples crop fields, are considered as lower caste because of their primitive work involving animal hunting which also included pasi and bahelia. Sub group in bhars who owned land were known to be as Rajbhars.
Artefacts such as The tribes and castes of the Central Provinces of India : by Russell and other british govt. surveys are used as an argument that as of current Bhar/Rajbhar are wrongly classified as OBC and in its sub group MBC . They should be reclassified as either SC or ST.
Bhar/Rajbhar consider themselves as proud descendants of medieval King Suhaldev Rajbhar
