hare & thare

ok, this one i have got to ask in all earnestness… why do people from up north say “hare” for “here”? was there a formal change in pronunciation in that region that the rest of us in india don’t know about? i don’t mean to be prejudiced! its an honest question! the moment someone goes, “hare it is” or “what i am trying to say hare” or “hare we have tried to”, its like a bright flash of light… and i can only think, hmmm, probably from delhi or somewhere up north. and its true! anyone backing me up on this?!
