The Rajbhar of Nepal, numbering approximately 42,500 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are descendants of the once-dominant Bhar tribe that controlled the Oudh region between Varanasi and Allahabad, who adopted the name Rajbhar under the Arya Samaj reform movement and, in a 1940 history, claimed descent from an ancient Bhar ruling king. They mostly adhere to Hinduism and Nepali (individual language) is their primary language.
