Talk:Bihar

My response

Mr. Bhadani,

My appologies for not explaining my edits. I just found out that Bihar around 1910/1914 had a population of 582,132 people, a lot less than the Bihar of India. So yes, I suppose that you are correct on the fact that Bihar in India is more prominent and more known (and also has more people) than the historical county of Hungary, also called Bihar, which no longer exists. (It is divided between Hungary & Romania) So I guess you can let Bihar in India be the main page if you want.

New Table

I'm trying to make a new table that looks like most of the other ones in the different Indian state articles, but it's missing a lot of information. Here's what I have so far. Please add on to this and help make it complete. --Hottentot

more to add

Hi, I've been using this article a lot for a project which I'm doing and I've noticed that the topic of economy does not have that much information to it. Also under culture, there is not a section of about clothing. I think that if either of these topics were fixed, the article would be much better. If anyone feels up to it, these sections need a little help.

Etymology

• The word Vihār is itself derived from the word Brahmavihāra, meaning "Brahma abidings", or "sublime attitudes."

In fact "Brahmavihara" is composed of "Brahma" and "vihara", and it is incorrect to say that "Vihar" is derived from "Brahmavihara". -Knverma (talk) 11:57, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
