Bhojpuri - The People |
|
Bhojpuri people started settling down to different part of the world as early as late eighteenth century for the their livelihood as farm
labourer in Oceania, Africa, Latin America and in Caribbean islands under Imperial Power of Europe.
These people took in their blood the great Indian Bhojpuri Culture, the
Spirituality, the love for humanity and compassion, the religious tolerance and
a longing for better and prosperous life. Bhojpuri people are characterised by
their love for the mother land. Their straightforwardness, simple and spiritual
life. These people are normally content with what they have. They are hard working people. They are the mainstay of Indian Construction/Real Estate
Industry. They are the elite and main ruling class in Fiji, Surinam, Mauritius,
Guyana, Trinidad and they are main king maker in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar.
Almost 75% of ministers of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar come from this region.
Of late the software professionals, technocrats, doctors, technicians, masons, skilled, semi-skilled workers, construction workers from this area are going abroad to USA, Canada, UK, France, Holland, Australia, Singapore, Japan etc. for better opportunity as Bhojpuri area is the one of most under developed area in terms of economic development,
industrialisation. There is no large scale industries in these areas where people can get employment, in turn they leave for the other places for greener pastures.
Bhojpuri region is the land of Ram and his Ramayan.
It is also land of Vishnu awatar Bhagwan Mahtma Budha and Bhagawan
Mahaveer, who were born in this region much before the evolution of Hindi/Bhojpuri
and spread the message of Compassion to the whole world ....Read

Bhojpuri - The Language |
|
Bhojpuri is a developing language. There is no official grammar for it to
conform to. Although the Bhojpuri has been introduced recently as one of
alternative languages in some of Bihar and UP Universities and this will
have far reaching impact in evolution of this dialect into language.
Regarding standardisation of Bhojpuri accent and style of speaking, there
is lot of variation due to the interaction with the neighbouring areas.
The Bhojpuri of Eastern UP(Ballia, Varanasi, Deoria, etc.) and Western
Bihar (Ara, Chapra and Motihari etc) may be assumed to be standard form of
Bhojpuri. The Bhojpuri of Allahabad and surrounding areas is mixed with
Awadhi, similarly the Bhohpuri of Vaishali is influenced with Maithali.
Similarly the form of Bhojpuri in Mauritius is flavoured with French. And
may be the local influence may have affected it in Fiji, Surinam and
Trinidad. But the variation in Bhojpuri should not be treated as any impediment. The Bhojpuri
people are the same people every where. It is the congruency of these
people which is most important. These people nurture the same belief and
faith, practice the same social custom and rituals and they are deeply
bonded to their family and ancient social values. Many
people question the forms of Bhojpuri in the different areas as it varies
across the region. But that is true for all the languages whether its
English, French, Arabic, Tamil, Punjabi or Hindi. See
just the geographical variation of a word say "Krishna" in
India. As you start traveling from Punjab towards Bengal and to
Maharashtra it changes ..... Kishen(Punjab), Krashna(Haryana),
Krishan(UP), Kishun(Bihar), Krishno (Bengal and the
ultimate Keshto, which means Krishna in Bangla) and finally the Krushna(Maharashtra). That is it. The variation exists every where and in
every languages. |
