Bhar is a word derived from tribal languages like Gondi and Munda, which means 'warrior'. The tribal society of central India used to have its own hierarchy, with clans ranging from Brahmins (priestly class), warriors to service or menial class. The tribal society had special respect for its warriors and martial clans. 'Bhar' is one such clan which had glorious history in medieval period, having its own small principalities in various parts of North India. As is evident from the origin of its name, Bhar was a warrior tribe which created its own history but slowly disappeared from pages of history. The Bhar formed small kingdoms in the Eastern UP region, until they were disposed by invading Rajput and Muslim groups in the later middle ages. The last Bhar Raja was killed by Ibrahim Shah Sharqi, the Sultan of Jaunpur.[5]
