Brajstha Maithil Brahmim

Brajstha Maithil Brahmins are those Brahmins who settled in Agra, the then capital of India from Tirhut (Mithila) from Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq to the reign of Akbar and later settled in three districts of central Braj after being oppressed by Auranzeb's misrule. Maithil Brahmins found in Braj have been migrating to Braj since that time. Which after research by eminent scholars of Mithila came to be known as Brajstha Maithil Brahmins. These Brahmins live mainly in Agra, Aligarh, Mathura and Hathras of Braj. After migrating from here, they are living in places like Delhi, Ajmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Baroda, Dahoud, Lucknow, Kanpur etc. The Mughal ruler Aurangzeb oppressed the whole of India including Mithila during his reign, suffering from its atrocities, many Mithilavasi Brahmins migrated from Mithila and settled in other states. It continued from AD till the revolution of 1857. After 1857, Indian social reformers had dreamed of a free India. The Brahmin society of Mithila also started dreaming of independent India. 'Swami Brahmanand Saraswati raised the voice of caste upliftment at the same time, he settled all over India for the upliftment of caste. Contacted Mithila residents, as a result of which the relations between Mithilavasi and migrant Maithil Brahmins, which were broken during Aurangzeb's time, were revived, due to their efforts, it was possible for Maithil Brahmins of Aligarh to go to Mithila and Mithila residents to Aligarh. At the time Swamiji returned from Mithila and organized Maithil Siddhant Sabha in Aligarh, correspondence started between 1882 to 1886 by the workers of Siddhant Sabha and Mithila resident Runa Jha.

Brajwasi Maithil Brahmins had information about their BG male sage Gotra Pravara branch formula origin village, by calling the registers from Darbhanga through Siddhant Sabha, the register of Brajstha Maithil Brahmins was restarted, thus Mithila's registrars kept coming to Braj every year and to the register  In the 19th century, apart from the scholars of Mithila, Maharaja Darbhanga also visited the conventions of Aligarh and Agra several times and Shri Brajastha Maithil Brahmin Mahasammelan, Maharaja Darbhanga of Agra and Ajmer. Raj Pandit Baldev Mishra was the chairman with him, the General Secretary of All India Maithil Mahasabha, Rai Bahadur Shiv Shankar Jha Advocate and Udbhatt scholar Sitaram Jha had come from Braj also Sir Har Govind Mishra had met Pandit Phool Chandra Mishra Maharaj, it is known from these memoirs and references that  Brajstha Maithil Brahmins and Mithila Brahmins again established contacts and relations as before after some interval. But in this interval Brajstha Maithil Brahmins speak their language Maithili. And due to being away from his Maithili culture, Braj got settled in the language and culture of Braj. Due to which the Maithili language almost completely disappeared, but some families also saved it and also made literary contributions to Maithili, in which other scholars like Pandit Ramchandra Mishra "Chandra" Jaint Mathura remained among the Brajastha Maithil Brahmins, the pioneers of Maithili of his time.
