The '''Bhuiyar''' or '''Bhuyiar''' are a [[Hindu]] [[Caste system in India|caste]] found in the [[Indian people|Indian]] [[States and union territories of India|state]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. They have [[scheduled caste]] status and are also known as '''Bhanyar'''. The traditional occupation of the Bhuiyar caste is [[weaving]] but that has declined due to mechanisation.<ref name="ppi-up">People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part One edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 307 to 312 Manohar Publications</ref><br />
<br />
== Origin ==<br />
They are a group of [[Munda people|Munda]] tribesmen who settled in the southern and the western Uttar Pradesh in the 16th century. They were a community that historically were involved with weaving and some were involved [[slash and burn]] agriculture, and occupied the hilly terrain of south [[Mirzapur district]]. The Bhuiyar are further divided into sub-divisions, which are referred to as ''kori''. Their main koris are the Baria, Birkunia, Chandnihys, Chetrihya, Chiriha, Dioriya, Khutta, Parha, Patparaha and Sudha. They are strictly [[endogamy|endogamous]], and practice clan [[exogamy]]. The Bhuiyar are found in the districts of [[Sonbhadra District|Sonbhadra]] and Mirzapur. They speak [[Hindi language|Hindi]], having long forgotten their [[Munda language]].<ref name="ppi-up"/><br />
<br />
== Present circumstances ==<br />
The Bhuiyar are now a community of settled agriculturists. Their earlier slash and burn practices have disappeared. Most Bhuiyar are a small and medium-sized farmers, with a minority being employed as agricultural labourers. Many are now also employed in the mines that have appeared in Mirzapur district. They live in multi-caste villages, occupying their own distinct quarters. They have much in common with neighbouring tribal communities such as the [[Kol people|Kol]], [[Agariya people|Agariya]] and [[Chero]]. Each of their settlement contains an informal caste council, known as a biradari panchayat. The panchayat acts as instrument of social control, dealing with issues such as divorce and adultery.<ref name="ppi-up"/><br />
<br />
The [[2011 Census of India]] for Uttar Pradesh showed the Bhuiyar population as 28,360.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/PCA/SC_ST/PCA-A10/SC-0900-PCA-A-10-ddw.xlsx |title= A-10 Individual Scheduled Caste Primary Census Abstract Data and its Appendix - Uttar Pradesh |publisher=Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India |accessdate=2017-02-04}}</ref><br />
