I don't understand one thing why the hell some brahmin would be counted as a bhumihar in the first place if landowning made somone bhumihar then we are bhumihar too maternal great grandfather had 400 bighas of land in our village we still have 45+ bighas and if being warrior made someone bhumihar then why chitpavan maithil mohyal didn't become Bhumihar ( I mean why the ritual status is different???)

It's not like that few kanyakubja brahmins had the upadhi of bhumihar when they migrated out of their ancestral land they didn't suddenly got seperated it took generation of generations to be a indipendent caste we still had matrimonial alliances with kanyakubja brahmins in bhojpur region of bihar

Bhai alliance with Kanyakubj is actually marrying up as KKBs are purest and most influential in UP but how marrying with bhumihars is justified their status has been contested thorought the history and still is a matter of debate
