Bhumi Sena
Bhumi Sena was a private army which operated in India between the late 1970s and mid 1990s. Bhumi sena drew its membership from youth of Kurmi Origin.
Bhumi sena was much feared in Patna and also had influence in Nalanda, Jehanabad and Gaya region of Bihar, India.[1][2]
The growth of private armies, or Senas, began in the late 1970s as a response of the landlords to the growing strength of the Left extremist groups.[3]
