Difference between Rajbanshi Kshatriya and Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi):

Rajbanshi Kshatriya and Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste do not belong to the same caste. "Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste belongs to Poundra Kshatriya (Sujat Kshatriya) and Ariyan language group". But “Koch-Rajbonshi caste belongs to Koch caste and language belongs to Tibeto-Barmi group”. In Gourbanga Rajbanshi Kshatriya races are mixed with Dravidian and Austrian races.

The Mongoloid population mixed with the Kamrup Rajbanshi Kshatriya race a lot. But in the western part of the Ratnapeeth of Kamrup, the mixture of these two types is very less, it can be understood. So three kinds of influence are to be seen in the Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste. This premise confuses many. Koch and Rajbanshi do not belong to the same caste. But many Koch people at one time (after 1911) declared themselves as Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste.

Not without mentioning one thing here. That is, under the influence of the Kshatriya movement of the 19th-20th century, along with the Bratya Kshatriyas, some other castes, including the Koch caste, declared themselves as Rajbanshi Kshatriyas and changed their titles (das, mandal, sarkar, koch, etc.) with the Bratya Kshatriyas. Along with taking the titles Ray, Baman, Singha, Chowdhury, etc.) This had a great influence in Lower Assam, Cooch Behar and the Dooars of North Bengal.

But interestingly "Roy, Chowdhury, Singha, Sinha, Barman, the use of surnames was from ancient times among the Rajbanshis in the districts of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Rajsahi, Bogura and undivided Purnia. But later in the Koch race, that mistake was broken and introduced himself as ‘Koch-Rajbanshi’. {When the movement started in Assam demanding a separate Kamtapur state, since then (late 20th century),We are wellknown that time a student body called "All Koch-Rajbanshi Student Union (Akrashu)" made in Assam.}

The Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) language belongs to the "Tibeto-Barmi" group and the caste belongs to the Mongoloid group. But the Rajbanshi (Kamtapuri) language belongs to the Ariyan language group and the caste is Rajbanshi (Poundra Kshatriya). In the 4th century BC, after being defeated by the Magadha king Mahapadma Nanda, a large number of Poundra Kshatriyas took refuge in Ratnapith of Kamarupa, Nepal and Orissa. So still living in Sambalpur area of ​​Orissa state and the language is also Rajbanshi.

Even modern research has proved that the language of the Poundra Kshatriya people of ancient Pundrabardhan has changed in many ways over time and today the language is called Rajbanshi (Kamtapuri) and even this language is known by different names from place to place. For example: Tajpuri, Rongpuri, Goalpariya, Suryapuri, Barendri, Western Kamrupi, Banga-Kamrupi, Banga-Assamese.

Linguists have proven that two languages ​​arose directly from the Banga-Kamrupi/Banga-Assamese language: 1) Bengali and 2) Assamese. From that point of view, Rajbanshi language (Banga-Assamese/Banga-Kamrupi) is the mother of Bengali and Assamese languages. But linguists have succeeded in proving that the Koch language belongs to the "Tibeto-Barmi" language family. At present Koch people are protesting in "Meghalaya" demanding preservation of "Koch language", even in Assam. Here "Koch-Rajbonshi language" refers to the language of the Koch race. But as a result of dhamantkaran Rajbanshi caste is now divided into different sects like: Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian. Not only is it anthropologically proven, but if you take a closer look yourself, you will understand the physiological path of the Rajbanshi Kshatriya race and the Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) race. Especially between "Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste" and "Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste", the skin color of "Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste" is relatively brite. Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste has higher under eye bones than Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste, The Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) people have a wider front of the nose and the middle part of the two eyes is small as compared to the Rajbanshi Kshatriyas. The Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) race has broad shoulders and heavier body than the Rajbanshi Kshatriya race. But due to living side by side for a long time, the Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste and the Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste had matrimonial relations. As a result, in many Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste or Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste families, children born from the same mother's have the two type body structure of two brothers or two sisters. But in those families where that mixture did not happen, the facial structure of the children of those families is the same. This mixture is more common in Assam and Assam bordering West Bengal. Also seen in other places. In families in which this admixture is found, there is no difficulty in understanding the matter by investigating the previous family marital history of the family. But painfully, many people make various wrong comments about the Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste without knowing it, it is never desirable.

Due to living side by side for a long time, most of the Koch people have forgotten their own language and there they speak Rajbanshi (Kamtapuri), Bengali and Assamese. In the future, if the Koch language is not protected and taught, this ancient Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) language will be lost forever from the world. That is by no means desirable. The authorities should take some action in this regard.

Similarly, Rajbanshi (Kamtapuri) language should be included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution and Rajbanshi language should be given the status of classical language. At present the official language of Nepal and West Bengal, the Rajbanshi language. The Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) race some difference to the Rajbanshi Kshatriya race in terms of worship.

I am also showing one or two examples. Eg: 1) "Hudumdyao Puja" is prevalent among "Koch-Rajbonshi caste", but this puja is not prevalent among Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste. 2) "Gambhira (Gamira) festival" is prevalent among "Rajbanshi Kshatriya caste", but this festival is not prevalent among Koch (Koch-Rajbonshi) caste. But there are exceptions to everything. Since the two races have been matrimonial due to living side by side for a long time.

Note: Not without presenting an important point here. The popularity of the above mentioned "Gambhira (Gamira) festival" in Maldaha, Dinajpur, Rangpur, Bogura, Rajshahi, Haldibari block of Cooch Behar district, Terai region of Jalpaiguri district, Siliguri sub-division and undivided Purniya district is but one thing attesting, "Rajbanshi Kshatriya Jati" is an people of the ancient Pundrabardhana.

The Rajbanshi Kshatriyas defeated the Kirats of Pragjotishpur in the 4th century AD, established a new dynasty and named the kingdom "Kamrup", the dynasty known as the Barman dynasty of Kamrup. Later, the rule of various dynasties was established in Kamrup, among them the rule of Roy dynasty is important in history. Prithu Roy was the last Maharaja of Kamrup. Sandha Roy, son of Maharaja Prithu Roy, founded the "Kamtapur Kingdom" in 1228 AD after the fall of Kamarupa.

Later, in the 15th century, Kamtapur was occupied by the "Khen Dynasty". In 1498 AD, Kamtapur was conquered by the Muslim rulers. But those rulers did not last long. Kamatapur was then divided into many parts and anarchy ensued. Finally, in the year of 1515 the rule of the Koch Dynasty was established in Kamtapur and new name Coochbehar.
