India’s perception of the Bihar and the World’s perception of India is pretty much the same.
1. Bihar = India
I can tell you this because I am not in India and people ask me the same thing what my non-Bihari friends were asking in India.
- The world thinks Indian cannot speak English and India thinks Bihari cannot speak English. That’s not true.
- The World thinks Indian steal jobs and India thinks Bihari steal jobs. They just work harder than those who complain about it.
- The World thinks Indian are lawbreakers and India thinks Bihari are lawbreakers. That depends. When the law fails, they do justice anyway. Sometimes they settle disputes at gunpoint.
- The World thinks Indian speak Hindi and India thinks Bihari speak Bhojpuri. Well, not all Bihari but I speak Bhojpuri. Ham Bhojpuri bole ni.
The world may say a lot of things about us, but they just can’t ignore.
2. India’s first war of independence
Babu Kunwar Singh was the most notable figure of India’s first war of independence, aka the Indian Rebellion of 1857. He defeated British forces in many battles and wrote a glorious chapter in Indian history.
3. The first President of India
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Bihari call him Rajendra Babu is the first president of India.
In 1920, Dr. Rajendra Prasad constituted the committee on the Non-Cooperation Movement with Shah Mohammad Zubair and Mazhar-ul-Haq.
Quit India Movement in Bihar was drafted under the leadership of Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Dr. Prasad also drafted the Salt Satyagraha.
4. Nonviolence concept originated in Bihar
You know Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela for their promotion of Nonviolence.
But you probably don’t know that Bihar is the place from where the concept of Nonviolence originated. Gautama Buddha raised this idea in the 6th century BC.
5. Pataliputra (now Patna) was the capital of India
Ashoka the Great ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal). And the Pataliputra (now Patna) was the capital of the Maurya Empire. The emblem of the modern Republic of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka.
6. The first republic in the world
Vaishali – Bihar, considered to be a world’s first republic. Vaishali was established as a republic with an elected assembly of representatives in the 6th century BC.
7. Nalanda was far greater than Harvard, Stanford and MIT
Nalanda University attracted scholars and students from all over the world especially China, Japan, Greece, Korea, Iran, Tibet.
The great library of Nalanda University was so huge that it was having more than 9 million manuscripts. The library kept on burning for three months after the invaders set fire to the buildings.
