About Bihar

Bihar, located in the eastern part of India, ranks as the third most populous state. Moreover, it stands as the 12th largest in terms of area and held the position of the 14th largest by GDP as of 2021.

History:

In Ancient India, the region now known as Bihar was a hub of political strength and cultural influence, as well as a place known for education. Bihar was where the Maurya Empire, India’s first big empire, began. This empire is also famous for giving birth to Buddhism. The rulers of Magadha, especially from the Maurya and Gupta families, brought many parts of South Asia together under one government. Also, a part of Bihar called Mithila was famous for its tradition of learning and was the heart of the ancient Videha kingdom.

Geography:

Bihar spans 94,163 square kilometers and has an average height of 173 feet above sea level. It’s surrounded by land, with Nepal to the north, Jharkhand to the south, West Bengal to the east, and Uttar Pradesh to the west. The state is divided into three main regions: the Southern Plateau, the Shivalik Region, and the Gangetic Plain of Bihar. The fertile lands of the Bihar Plain are split into North and South Bihar by the Ganges River, which flows from west to east. There are also some small hills in Bihar, like the Rajgir hills in the center, the Kaimur Range in the southwest, and the Shivalik Range in the north. Bihar has forests covering 6,764.14 square kilometers, making up 7.1 percent of its total area. 

Demographics:

During the 2011 Census, Bihar had the third-highest population in India, reaching over 104 million people. It was the most populated state, with 1,106 individuals living in each square kilometer. In 2020, the number of females for every 1,000 males was 1,090. This number rose to about 130.7 million according to a caste survey in Bihar in 2023. Moreover, nearly 58% of the population in Bihar is under 25 years old, which means Bihar has the largest percentage of young individuals compared to any other state in India.

Hindi is the main language of Bihar, spoken by majority of the people. Also, Urdu is the second official language. However, most people in Bihar communicate in Bihari languages, which are often counted as dialects of Hindi in surveys. Other Bihari languages are Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi.
