Here’s an overview of the Rajput-related lineages in Gopalganj (Bihar)—drawing from the historic Baghochia/Bhumihar estates and broader regional traditions of Rajput clans:

🏰 Husseypur Estate – Baghochia (Bhumihar, not strictly Rajput)

While primarily Bhumihar Brahmin, the Baghochia clan of Husseypur in modern-day Gopalganj was granted princely titles by Mughal rulers and acted as local powerholders.

• Maharaja Fateh Bahadur Shahi was the 99ᵗʰ Raja of Hathwa (Husseypur), renowned for resisting British rule 

While not Rajput by classification, they governed from Gopalganj and overshadowed local Rajput clans through socio-political dominance.

🌳 Local Rajput Clans – Ujjainiya, Banaut, Bisen

Rajput lineages in Gopalganj and surrounding areas include notable clans like Ujjainiya (Parmar), Banaut, and Bisen:

• Ujjainiya Rajputs trace their origin to Bundelkhand’s Parmar clan and were prominent Zamindars in Bihar 

• Banaut (Bundela/Banaphar) also migrated from Bundelkhand; well-established in Bihar-Jharkhand regions as landowners 

• Bisen Rajputs, reported in redditors’ accounts, have a historical presence in Saran and Gopalganj, tied to Majhauli’s ruling family

🔍 Context Summary

• Baghochia rulers of Husseypur (based in present-day Gopalganj) held Mughal and colonial-era titles and authority, notable among which was Fateh Bahadur Shahi

• Rajput caste identity in Gopalganj is represented through clans like Ujjainiya (Parmar), Banaut, and Bisen—landed elites recognized in oral tradition and regional records

• These clans historically rose to prominence by establishing zamindaris and engaging in political-military roles under Mughal and pre-colonial Rajput structures.

🏰 Legacy of Baghochia (Bhumihar) Lords

• While not Rajput, the Baghochia dynasty governed local estates (e.g., Husseypur, Hathwa Raj) in and around Gopalganj.

• Their leadership is rooted in Mughal-era princely titles and resistance against the British, led by rulers like Maharaja Fateh Bahadur Shahi

⚖️ Social & Historical Context

• Ujjainiya, Banaut, and Bisen Rajputs form the Rajput presence in Gopalganj/Saran/Bhojpur, historically serving as zamindars and military leaders

• Baghochia Bhumihars, though Brahmins, also wielded extensive land and political influence, sometimes overshadowing Rajputs in local governance
