Bhumihars are traditionally fighters / beggars / servants who used to work and fight for the kings and protect the border, in return the kings gave them land but after a period of time, Bhumihars started creating violence because they had suddenly acquired much land and used to rent them to farmers to dwell and couldn't control their wealth. they started believing that they are an upper caste community. also when the kings realised that they required more brahmins in their kingdom, they allowed bhumihars to conduct rituals once, but after the REAL BRAHMINS noticed it, they disallowed the bhumihars to conduct rituals, but the bhumihars wouldn't let go of their 'Brahmin' tag now and since then started claiming that they are Bhumihar Brahmins when actually they are just bhumihars.
Iyenger or Ayyangar are the descendents of Indo-Aryan Race and are actually proper Brahmins. They have their own Gotra System. Whereas, Bhumihar Brahmin gotra system has been derived from other sub sects of the Brahmin clan.
