@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!
