'The modern Babhans are the representatives of the ancient local Babhans'
Source- The indo aryan races by Ramprasad Chandra
The Bhumihar/Babhan tribe's the representative of the ancient Babhans of Magadha.
The Babhans were among the first indo aryan waves into the region, who went on to become the local ruling class of magadha
As its said 'magadha is country of the babhans'
Some modern brahmin groups are trying to appropriate the term for themselves although it has no academic/historical support.
However the modern brahmins of magadha (mainly shakdwipis and other migrated groups) do not involve themselves in this larp and consider themselves to be brahmin , not babhan.
