Thakurai
The Thakurai are a Muslim Rajput community found in the state of Bihar in India. A small number are also found in the Terai region of Nepal.〔People of India Bihar Volume XVI Part One edited by S Gopal & Hetukar Jha pages 924 to 927 Seagull Books〕
== Origin ==
The Thakurai are said to have originated in Rajasthan, and were converted to Islam during the rule of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. They were soldiers in the Mughal army that was sent to pacify Bihar. Their ancestor was a Mahabat Khan, who was a Sisodia Rajput of Mewar, who converted to Islam. They are now found in fifty three villages in Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, East and West Champaran District, and also have a presence in neighbouring Terai region of Nepal. The word Thakurai literally means lord, and originates from the Hindi term Thakur. They speak Bhojpuri, Urdu and Hindi and are Sunni Muslims. The community perceives itself as being Rajput, and their customs are similar to other Muslim Rajputs of the Bihar region, such as the Khanzada of Bhojpur, but there is no intermarriage between the two groups.〔
