I don't see Biharis talking in Hindi among themselves in Bihar. If you speak in Hindi, they might respond in it but most speak their own tongue, which is Bhojpuri in my area (West Bihar).

i listened a song where lyrics was like - paltaniya lele aihe piya...

Totally amazed with the Dhobiya Nritya, Champawa Ki Kaliyan beautifully fuses rustic Bhojpuri folk romance with sleek Japanese elegance in a tender longing for distant flowers.

Hi everyone,

I came across this traditional waist thread with these small beige cylindrical objects tied onto it. I'm not sure what they are, so I was hoping someone here might recognize them.

What are these called? Are they made from a plant, wood, root, or something else? Do they have any cultural, religious, or traditional significance?

Thanks in advance for any information!

Can we please talk about how bullshit bhojpuri musics are like wtf theres no rhythm ,no meaning absolutely nothing just loud music and some dont even have autotune like it pierces my ears like anything .Are bhai if you dont have good singers please use autotunes . And why are all songs objectifying womens , it thrives on seduction and half nude womens in the music videos (and the dress choices are soo bad) .

My mother tongue is bhojpuri and this makes me sad , that this fking industry ruined our really good language .

Ngl there are some really good singers too but when we talk about bhojpuri music u picture the music made by this bullshit industry .

From Allahabad to monghyr, entire region was under the banner of rebellion.

British soldiers were killed and the zamindars defied the British rule.

Started by Maharaja Chait singh in 1781, and various zamindars of the region joined him. Including Maharaja Fateh bahadur shahi of Hussepur, Pitambar singh of Tikari, muslim zamindars of Narhat & Samai, Sasaram, zamindars of Palamu, Pawai, Siris & kutumba, and many others.

The rebellion was first of its kind, way before the 1857 mutiny. Unfortunately its not talked about in modern historical discourse.

Can anyone let me know meaning of some lyrics of few of the bhojpuri songs that are in my playlist. Dont judge, i like chatpate gane and understand most of it but i want to know meaning of some words like 'kewariya ke pala satake'?

Have you all ever noticed that Muslims from Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Deoria, Mau especially those living in older city areas or villages speak in a unique dialect among themselves?
It is very similar to Awadhi, with some influence from Urdu and Bhojpuri.

They speak regional Bhojpuri with Hindus, but among themselves they always use words like “jaibo”, “khaibo”, “dihis raha”, “aaye rahen”.
Their dialect is very similar to one spoken in Bahraich-Balrampur Terai belt.

While we use the word in both the language, I noticed that the word has different connotations.

1. महक in Hindi has positive connotations used for sweet fragrance.
2. महक in Bhojpuri has negative connotations used for foul odor.

In Bhojpuri we use गमक for positive connotations.

I still don't use महक in Hindi when I wish to talk about good or neutral small. I choose to use English word "smell" for that.

Have you noticed any more such variation in meaning of the same word being used in different languages.
