Who they are
Bhojpuri-speaking Biharis are descended from Indian workers who migrated to South Africa in the 19th century. Although they are integrated into contemporary South African life and use English in their daily lives, they preserve deep ties to their ancestral traditions from northern India. Their community and family identity remains strongly connected to their Hindu religious heritage and the cultural celebrations passed down through generations.
