Maithil Brahmins (Brāhamaṇas is the Sanskrit term), a community of highly cohesive, traditional Brahmins who form part of ancient Vedic Brahmins. Maithil Brahmins are a Hindu Brahmin community from the Mithila region of India and Nepal. They are one of the five Pancha-Gauda Brahmin communities.[1]In India, the Maithil Brahmins reside mainly in Bihar and the neighbouring states of Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
Like many other Hindu castes, the Maithil Brahmins trace their origin in the legends of Ramayana. During the Mughal period, they migrated westwards to the Braj region.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Maithil Brahmins became politically significant in Bihar. Binodanand Jha, Lalit Narayan Mishra, and Jagannath Mishraemerged as prominent political leaders of the community. Under the Chief Ministry of Jagannath Mishra, many Maithil Brahmins assumed important political positions in Bihar.
