It primarily consists of the Bhojpuri region of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
It is a proposed state in the state of Uttar Pradesh for which people of this area have been fighting for quite some time.[when?]
Since the late 20th century, there has been a demand for a separate Purvanchal state, carved out of the state of Uttar Pradesh.
