I am proud of being Bihai because
1)
Ancient Bihar, known
as Magadha,was originally known as vihar for
people who used to go there for learning.and searching mental peacein the
material world.
2)
It was the center of power, learning, and
culture in India for more then 1000 years before chirist..
3)
It was birth place of
two religions Boddha Dharm and Jain Dharma under the spiritual leadership of
lord Gautam Buddha and lord Mahavir.
4) While
the geographic impact of Jainism was limited to India, Buddhist nuns and monks
eventually spread the teachings of Buddha to Central Asia, East Asia, Tibet, Sri Lanka and South East
Asia.

University one of the oldest residential university during the
period which spread the knowledge to outer countries.
6) Even
before the advent of Buddhism and Jainism,
Vaiśālī was the capital of the vibrantrepublican Licchavi state
7) In
that period, Vaiśālī was an ancient metropolis and
thecapital city of
the republic of the Vaiśālī state, which covered most of the
Himalayan Gangeticregion of present-day Bihar state,
India.
8) The Vishnu Purana records 34 kings of
Vaiśālī, the first being Nabhaga, who is believed to have abdicated his throne over
a matter of human rights and
believed to have declared: "I am now a free tiller of the soil, king over
my acre.
9) In
the republic of Vaiśālī, Lord Mahavira was born. Gautama Buddha delivered his
last sermon at Vaiśālī and announced his Parinirvanathere. Vaiśālī is also renowned as
the land of Amrapali, the great
Indian courtesan,
who appears in many folktales,
as well as in Buddhistliterature.
Ambapali became a disciple of Buddha.Manudev was a famous king of the
illustrious Lichchavi clan of the confederacy, who desired to possess Amrapali after he saw her dance
performance in Vaishali.[14]
10) In
the later Vedic Age, a number of small kingdoms or city states, dominated Magadha.
Many of these states have been mentioned during in Buddhist and Jaina literature as far back as 1000 BCE.
By 500 BCE,
11)
It was the land of greatestt economist like
chankya, and Brhadrata.
12)
It is the land where gtreat kings reinedwhich
were unparralal their bravery like chandragupts moray and Ashoka.

city mithila is situated. Mithila is known for its literary traditions, education and culture.
Four of the six high profile systems of Indian philosophy, Nyaya, Vaiseshika,
Mimamsa, and Sankalya, were developed in the Mithila Region.
16) Vidyapati and his work
shaped the language and culture of the entirety of eastern India, comprising
Bengal, Assam, Odisha and even up to some extent Nepal.
17) It was work place of great politicians like Swami Sahajanand
Saraswati, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Sri Krishna Sinha, Dr.Anugrah Narayan Sinha, Brajkishore Prasad, Mulana Mazharul Haque, Jayaprakash Narayan, Thakur Jugal

Sinha,Basawon Singh, Rameshwar Prasad

exhaustive list of reasons why I am proud of being Bihai. There are so many
causes which may prove that Bihar is one of most firtile soil for agriculture,
Animal Husbandry, thinkers and politicians.
