Bhumihar brahmins-warrior brahmins......these brahmins r very aggressive & strong n nature..........they were formally kanyakubja brahmins but gave away their priest hood to protect the brahmin community against the Muslim invaders & forein invaders.tyagi-mohyal-niyogi-bhumihar-chitpavan-all r of same community.......they all r warrior like people..................& have the same legend.....that s of parshuram.

now comes there origin.............some scholars argue that bhumihars r f greek origin because according 2 history & legend......many Greeks settled n magadh during megasthanese arrival......these Greeks mixed with the local brahmins & hence the bhumihars were created....but not f pure brahmin race ,they were denied priesthood & were given land 4 their livelihood.....laterwards they were named as bumihar brahmins............

it s very unusual that many bhumihars r very fair n colour & have brown eyes mostly the bhumihars living n jharkhad & west Bengal........this certanly shows that they have mixed less than other aryan groups................
