A focused population profile of Bhojpuri Kshatriya people, their north Indian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Bhojpuri Kshatriya refers to Kshatriya or Rajput-associated communities from the Bhojpuri-speaking belt of eastern Uttar Pradesh and western Bihar.
Bhojpuri and Hindi are central to the regional setting. This reference sits in a north Indian upper-caste and Indo-Gangetic comparison space rather than a broad all-Bhojpuri average.
As a genetic reference, Bhojpuri Kshatriya is useful for comparison with Punjabi Lahore, Bengali Brahmin West Bengal, Malayali Brahmin Nambudiri, Tamil Nadu Brahmin Iyer, Telugu Brahmin, Telugu Brahmin Vaidiki, Marathi Brahmin Chitpavan, Bihari Brahmin Bhumihar, Andhra Pradeshi Brahmin, and Eastern Uttar Pradeshi Brahmin.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Bhojpuri Kshatriya is closest to Punjabi Lahore, Bengali Brahmin West Bengal, Malayali Brahmin Nambudiri, Tamil Nadu Brahmin Iyer, Telugu Brahmin, Telugu Brahmin Vaidiki, Marathi Brahmin Chitpavan, Bihari Brahmin Bhumihar, Andhra Pradeshi Brahmin, and Eastern Uttar Pradeshi Brahmin. The result places this profile in a north Indian and broader South Asian upper-caste comparison space.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Bhojpuri Kshatriya ancestry is best interpreted through the Indo-Gangetic and upper-caste South Asian context, close to Bihari Bhumihar, eastern Uttar Pradeshi Brahmin, Punjabi, Bengali Brahmin, and several Brahmin references from other regions.
The heatmap should emphasize eastern Uttar Pradesh, western Bihar, the Bhojpuri belt, the Indo-Gangetic plain, Punjab/Lahore-related references, Bengal, and broader upper-caste South Asian comparison zones.
Yes. Bihari Brahmin Bhumihar appears among the close matches.
