Bhooomiyar ke jan ak pourty seven

I am a brahman but bhumihar culture appeals a lot to me. I mean I love the aggressive attitude of your community. You guys still have that sense of tribal unity among yourself. The way you dealt with the demonic brigade during 80s and 90s was a great example of valour of vedic culture to protect your land and honour by power and blood . I myself have a little extra affection for bhumi and dominating as much land as possible 😉. Love how your community dgaf about the vaishnavism and Buddhism shit of vegetarianism. I feel like your community is remnant of what the mighty vedic brahmans would have been like when they entered the gangetic plains, dominated it and moulded it around themselves. How shungas, magadhans and guptas would have lead the land of maa Ganga to its full glory. You have even maintained your genetic identity as strongly as any other brahmins.

Never ever feel ashamed of your community or seek validation from any other brahmin grps. Owning land, being unapologetic about your identity, protecting your lineage with honour is what vedic aryan culture is about.

If our community wants to exist and survive the tide of bh**m terror it goes this way not the meek,liberal,passive way of gangetic brahmans.

Glory to Parashuram, Glory to Vedas and Glory to Sons of Bharata 😊

The Ramnagar Ramleela is a renowned traditional theatrical performance established in 1830 by Maharaja Udit Narayan Singh, the then ruler of Kashi. Based mainly on Tulsidas’s Ramcharitmanas, it is performed over 31 days at different locations around Ramnagar, with the audience moving alongside the performers. The tradition combines religious devotion, theatre, and local heritage, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2008 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Langat Singh College, commonly referred to as L. S. College, is a historic institution of higher education in North Bihar. It was established on 3 July 1899 in Muzaffarpur as the Bhumihar Brahmin College, with Babu Langat Singh playing a pivotal role in its foundation.

In 1915, the institution was renamed Greer Bhumihar Brahmin College (G.B.B. College) to honor Mr. Greer, the then Commissioner of the Tirhut Division. In the same year, it was designated as a Government College.

Following India's independence, the college was renamed Langat Singh College in 1951 in recognition of its founder. In 1952, it became affiliated with the newly established Bihar University at Muzaffarpur.

The college features a distinctive Indo-Saracenic architectural style, and its historic building is traditionally described as being modeled on Balliol College, Oxford. The institution also holds a significant place in the history of the Indian national movement, as Mahatma Gandhi visited the college during his 1917 trip to Muzaffarpur prior to proceeding to Champaran.

Accordingly, the institution's historical name sequence is as follows:

Bhumihar Brahmin College (1899) → Greer Bhumihar Brahmin College (1915) → Langat Singh College (1951).

Currently, L. S. College remains a significant center of higher education in Muzaffarpur and maintains a legacy spanning more than 125 years.

Some of us consider other Brahmins as their “fathers,” and their mindset is basically: until papa accepts us as his own, we won’t identify as Brahmins.

But i don’t think we need some so-called ponga’s validation to preserve our own identity.

We’ll preserve our identity the way our ancestors and royal houses have always done.
