}}{{Hinduism}}Bahun ({{lang-ne|बाहुन}}) or Khas Brahmin{{sfn|John T Hitchcock|1978|pp=116-119}}({{lang-ne|खस ब्राह्मण}}) is a caste among Khas ethnic Pahari people. Bahun is a local colloquial term for the Nepali-speaking hill Brahmins. According to 2011 Nepal census, Bahun or Brahmin-Hill stands as second most populous group after Chhetri in Nepal.[1]

According to 1854 Muluki Ain (Nepalese Legal Code), Bahuns were regarded as caste among sacred thread bearers (Tagadhari) and twice-born Hindus.{{sfn|Sherchan|2001|p=14}}

History

Traditionally, Bahuns (called "Khas Brahmins") were member of Khas community together with Chhetris (Khas Kshatriyas).{{sfn|John T Hitchcock|1978|pp=116-119}} Possibly due to political power of the Khasa Malla kingdom, Khas Bahun and Khas Rajput had high social status as immigrant plain Brahmins and Rajputs in the present-day western Nepal.{{sfn|John T Hitchcock|1978|pp=116-119}} Bahuns, regarded as upper class Khas group together with Chhetri, were associated mostly with the Gorkha Kingdom.{{sfn|Whelpton|2005|p=31}} Bahun (with Chhetri) are referred with tribal designation of Khas in most of the context than lower occupational Khas castes like Kami, Sarki, etc.{{sfn|Whelpton|2005|p=31}}

Clans and surnames

Bahuns were divided into two clans on the basis of residency. The Bahun residents east of Mahakali river were known as Purbiya Bahun and west of the river were known as Kumain Bahun.{{sfn|Subba|1989|p=30}} Kumain is a direct derivative of Kumaoni, meaning residents of Kumaon.{{sfn|Subba|1989|p=30}}

Demography

According to 2011 Nepal census, Bahun or Brahmin-Hill stands as second most populous group after Chhetri in Nepal with 12.2% of Nepal's population (or 32,26,903 peoples).[1] Bahun (Hill-Brahmins) are the second largest Hindu group with Hindu population of 3,212,704 (99.6% of Bahuns) as per the 2011 Nepal census.[1] Hill-Brahmins are largest group in 11 districts in Nepal; Jhapa, Morang, Kathmandu, Chitwan, Nawalparasi, Rupandehi, Kaski, Syangja, Parbat, Gulmi

and Arghakhanchi. Among these, Bahuns in Parbat (35.7%), Arghakhanchi (32.8%) and Syangja (30.9%) consist more than 30% of district population while Kathmandu consists largest Bahun population with 410,126 (23.5%).[1]

Bahuns have the highest civil service representation with 39.2% of Nepal's bureaucracy while having only 12.1% of Nepal's total population. The civil service representation to population ratio is 3.2 times for Bahuns which is fourth in Nepal. Kshetris represent 5.6 times in civil services to their percentage of population, which is the highest in Nepal.[2]

Bahunbaad

Bahunbaad along with Bahun-Chhetri phenomenon has been dubbed as socio-political dominance of Khas-Pahades in Nepal. This dominance has emerged a critical condition for Bahun and Chhetri males for depriving of opportunities due to quota and Reservation for other castes.[3] Ethnic hatred against Bahun-Chhetri includes a former member of the Federal Socialist Party's revelation of their party's promotion of Bahun-Chhetri hatred using slogan of chopping Bahun-Chhetris off. Former Prime Minister of Nepal, Baburam Bhattarai had argued that Khas Arya dominates the 80% institutions in Nepal and meritocratic system should not be introduced in Nepal. Opposingly, it is widely known that the Bahun-Chhetri dominance was based on formal legal system and the guilt of state capture is targeted by quota-reservation supporters.[4] EU mission also suggested the Nepalese government to deny Khas Aryas their proportional representation election quota.[5]
