WHAT DOES BIHAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bihar

Bihar

Bihar is a state in the eastern region of India.[4][5] It is the 12th largest state in terms of geographical size of 38,202 sq mi and 3rd largest by population. It is bounded by Uttar Pradesh to its west, Nepal to the north, Northern part of West Bengal to the east and by Jharkhand to the south. The Bihar plain is divided into two parts by the river Ganges which flows from west to east.[6] Bihar has forest area of 6,764.14 km2,[7] which is 7.2% of its geographical area. In 2000, southern Bihar was separated from Bihar to form the new state state of Jharkhand.[8]Close to 85% of the population lives in villages. Almost 58% of Biharis are below the age of 25,[9] which is the highest proportion in India. Bihar was a centre of power, learning and culture in ancient and classical India.[10] From Magadha arose India's first and greatest empire, the Maurya empire as well as one of the world's most widely adhered-to religions, Buddhism.[11] Magadha empires, notably under the Maurya and Gupta dynasties, unified large parts of South Asia under a central rule.[12] Its capital Patna, earlier known as Pataliputra, was an important centre of Indian civilization.
