An Urdu and Hindi word meaning brotherhood, solidarity, or a spirit of communal goodwill — used across South Asian communities, particularly in India and Pakistan, to describe bonds of fellowship between people, communities, or nations. The word carries warmth and moral weight, invoked in calls for social harmony, interfaith dialogue, and community cohesion. It has crossed over into South Asian diaspora English as a way to express the concept without losing its cultural resonance.
The neighbourhood's annual street festival was all about bhaichara — everyone cooking, sharing food, and looking out for each other.
