DESCRIPTION
Bihar immediately reflects two different concepts in one's mind. i.e.; first, it is most difficult place to live in, and secondly, it has a rich past cultural history its educational brilliance, its role in freedom struggle etc. No doubt, it was one of the best administered states in 1950s, as the appleby report and other reports speak of, but it has undergone a sea change in the last fifty years, which also has the bearing on the backward castes of the state.
