It's "Sukkur" not Sukkar.
@thor: Biharis are smart folks----remember what Bihar gave to enrich India and the sub-continent? Let me just put it here:
(1) Jainism (2) Budhism (Bod Gya) (3) The First ever academy of higher learning in human history, Nalenda University (Nalanda means "insatiable in giving.") In Bihar, about 88 kilometers south east of Patna, and was a religious center of learning from the fifth or sixth century CE to 1197 CE.[[when most of you were still living in caves!!!] .The university attracted scholars and students from as far away as Tibet, China, Greece, and Persia. (4)Mauryan empire (5) Sher Shah Suri (we are grateful, or should be, for the GT road
(6) And it gave you, you guessed it!
hope he comes back safe..............fingers crossed
Nitish is one of the successful and able Chief Ministers of India. During his tenure Bihar's growth rate has increased from 3.5% to 11% in 5 years
First Laloo yadav, then Nitish..Seems like Pakistanis have fondness for Biharis. Last time in an interview to TV channel,..Imran khan had praised Nitish a lot.
Welcome. Neighbors must always be friends.
Nitish is anti-Brahmin.BJP need to take decision about the alliance with JDU in Bihar . This guy is intolerable.Now adays ,he has been exposed and his policies r hurting people of bihar .
