Bihar, like many other states in India, has a complex Caste System with numerous castes and sub-castes. While there is no definitive count, estimates suggest that there are over 100 distinct castes in Bihar, which can be broadly categorized into Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and Forward Classes. The exact number can vary based on different classifications and socio-political contexts.

Why yes, yes it is.
In Bihar, several Rajput sub-castes can be identified, including the Chauhan, Rathore, Rajpurohit, and Sisodia. These sub-castes have historical significance and are often associated with specific regions and traditions within the state. The Rajputs in Bihar traditionally held warrior status and were known for their valor and contributions to regional politics. Each sub-caste has its unique customs and practices, reflecting the diverse heritage of the Rajput community.
In Bihar, the term "EBC" stands for "Economically Backward Class." This category includes various castes that are considered economically disadvantaged but do not fall under the Scheduled Castes (SC) or Scheduled Tribes (ST) categories. Specific castes classified as EBCs include, but are not limited to, the Kurmi, Yadav, and Paswan communities. The classification aims to provide better educational and employment opportunities for these groups.
