Rajputs in Bihar
Babu Saheb (or Babu Sahib) is a term or sobriquet[1] used mainly in the Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh[2] and Jharkhand to describe members of Rajput caste[3] who traditionally formed part of the feudal elite and royalty.[4][5][6] The term is used interchangeably with Thakur.[7] Many songs in the Bhojpuri language use the term to glorify the Rajput caste.[8]
