BEING BIHARI : A BOON MORE THAN A CURSE
Whenever you think of degrading Bihar and disrespecting Biharis, give it a thought: if Bihar didn't exist on the Indian map,What would happen?? From administration to defence, we see our Biharis everywhere. With 15% of UPSC toppers are from Bihar. 11% of IT toppers are from Bihar, Biharis never fail to prove who they truly are. India's first president, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, was a son of Bihar.
Nalanda University, which stands as a timeless beacon of ancient wisdom, scholarly excellence, and global intellectual legacy. is located in Bihar.
Bihar has long been a cradle of brilliance, nurturing minds and talents that have made India proud on the global stage. The legendary mathematician Aryabhatta, who introduced the world to zero and the value of pi, was born here, as was Vashishtha Narayan Singh, whose genius in mathematics remains awe-inspiring.
In cinema and sports, Bihar continues to shine. Actors like Manoj Bajpayee and the late Sushant Singh Rajput carved a niche with their powerful performances. Cricket legends such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as ‘Captain Cool’, and the energetic Ishan Kishan are proud sons of this soil.
The business world is led by figures like Kumar Mangalam Birla, while icons like Shatrughan Sinha, Udit Narayan, and poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar have enriched Indian culture and public life.
Talking of food and other goods produced, Bihar plays a pivotal role in India’s agro-industrial exports, contributing significantly to global supply chains. The state is the world’s leading exporter of fox nuts (makhana), accounting for over 90% of global exports. It also supplies 71% of the world’s litchis, renowned for their superior quality. Bihar contributes 26% of India’s silk exports, while Vaishali and Muzaffarpur together export 50% of the country’s bananas. Moreover, the state is responsible for 95% of India’s pirate stone exports, a vital resource for the paper and chemical industries. These figures underscore Bihar’s importance as a powerhouse of agricultural and mineral wealth.
So the next time, whenever you question what Bihar or who Bihar , you have got your answers.
Jai Hind, Jai Bihar
