The '''Bhojpuri region''' or '''Bhojpur''' is an area encompassing parts of the states of [[Bihar]] and [[Uttar Pradesh]] in northern [[India]] where the [[Bhojpuri]] is spoken as the mother-tongue. The Bhojpuri region is bordered by [[Awadh]] in the west and [[Bajjika]] in the east. [[Ujjainiya]] Rajputs of the former [[Shahabad district]] of ancient [[Bihar]] established their headquarters in the town of [[Arrah]], [[Bhojpur district, Bihar|Bhojpur district]] from where the whole region received its name.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kolff|first=Dirk H.A.|year=2002|orig-year=First published 1990|title=Naukar, Rajput, and sepoy : the ethnohistory of the military labour market in Hindustan, 1450-1850|publisher=Cambridge University Press|page=160|isbn=0-521-52305-2|quote=The Bhojpuri region received its name after the town of Bhojpur, the ancient headquarters of the Ujjainiya Rajputs of the erstwhile Shahabad district of Bihar.}}</ref><br />

The economic and industrial growth of this region had been greatly hindered because of caste-guided political in-fighting and a huge population.<ref>[http://www.epuinfo.com/node/4] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130827085623/http://www.epuinfo.com/node/4 |date=27 August 2013 }}</ref><br />
The culture of Bhojpur is also very much present today in [[Trinidad and Tobago]], [[Guyana]], [[Suriname]], [[Fiji]], [[Mauritius]], and [[South Africa]], due to the many [[Indian indenture system|Indian indentured laborers]] who were sent there by the ruling British in the mid 19th century to the early 20th century, and were from the [[Purvanchal|Purvanchal-Bhojpur]] region.<br />
