Ques: Why anime watchers keep anime character in their DP?

Ans: They might love anime character more than they love themselves.

Nitish Kumar once faced hurdles to get this project done.

But today, look at Rajgir — Ganga water is reaching homes directly! 🔥

On Diwali, how could the imagination of a #SundayWanderer travel anywhere but to Ayodhya?

The magnificent spectacle of countless diyas illuminating the city evokes the timeless story of Lord Ram’s return after 14 years of exile, when the people of Ayodhya lit up their city to welcome him home.

I’ve never been to Ayodhya. But one day, I hope to be there on Diwali, to join in that joyous, symbolic welcome home to Lord Ram.

Until then, my imagination will have to make the journey for me…

From my family to yours, wishing you a Diwali filled with light, love, joy and togetherness.

Happy Diwali! 🪔

This Diwali, this one is for everyone who has ever been written off.
A museum in Patna now ranks above the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris. The Bihar Museum is 9th on the World’s 100 Best Museums list for 2026 put out by the German travel guide Worth a Journey. The Met is 10th and the Louvre is 31st. No other Indian museum made it to the list and no museum in Asia ranked higher.

I am celebrating along with every Bihari I know. But this museum came very close to never being built.
It stands today because a Chief Minister and a civil servant refused to let it die. The Chief Minister at the time was Nitish Kumar. The civil servant was Chanchal Kumar of the 1992 IAS batch.
A lot of people asked whether Bihar really needed a world-class museum when Nitish ji proposed it.
Who was going to come? Why put Rs 498 crore into a museum? Some of the doubters were from within the political establishment.
Nitish ji stood by the idea. What followed was one fight after another.
The museum needed a plot that had 7 government bungalows on it. A minister and an IAS officer were two of the people living there. Some others, the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax among them, refused to leave their government-allotted homes. The state had to fight a case in the High Court before construction could begin.

Men linked to MLAs stormed the site on the very first day of work to demand subcontracts and the police had to arrest them. Court cases challenged its cost and the way the tenders were handled.
In India, many projects have been shelved for far smaller problems.
This one survived largely because it was run cleanly. Some of the biggest firms in the business took part in tenders that were national or international and run in the open.
The court went through the physical files and found the process sound. The costs came in lower than for similar projects abroad.
Larsen & Toubro came to Bihar for the first time to build it. The design came from Fumihiko Maki of Japan who had won the Pritzker Prize, which is considered to be the Nobel for architecture.
The responsibility of building it was given to Chanchal Kumar. He held an unusual double charge as Secretary of Art and Culture and Secretary of the Building Construction Department at the same time.

One department had to decide what the museum would be and what it would hold while the other had to build it. I can’t think of a tougher pair of jobs for one person.
I recently read his account of the whole journey. He and his team were up against a great deal and yet he speaks very little of his own contribution to the success. He is not the sort to go around telling people what he did.
So I am telling it here.
His job was to take a big idea through files, approvals, tenders and court hearings until it became a building and then an institution.
None of it would have happened without Nitish ji. It was his idea and he backed it all the way. It also helped that Chanchal Kumar had worked in the Chief Minister’s Office and knew how to get past the roadblocks. The team around the two of them could have given up when the pressure built up but they stayed.

Those early doubts are the reason I think this museum matters so much.
Biharis have done well in every field and in every part of the world we have gone to.

What held the state back was how the rest of India saw it and how many of us had started to see ourselves.
A museum felt like a luxury to people who had been told for years that Bihar had nothing worth showing.

There is a moment in the Ramayan that comes to mind. Ram ji’s Vanara Sena stands on the seashore wondering who can cross the ocean to Lanka. Hanuman ji sits apart with no idea of his own strength. It is then that the old bear king Jambavan reminds him who he is by telling him about his childhood and how he once leapt at the sun thinking it was a fruit. Only then does Hanuman ji realise his own potential and strength.
Bihar needed a Jambavan of its own.

Wow!!!

The JDU IT Cell has done a genuinely impressive job with this video.

I wasn't expecting this level of quality from them!

[Sadan Singh @SadanJee]

वो भी क्या दिन थे, जब बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार हुआ करते थे.!

बैठकों में ही मंत्रियों को फटकार लगा देते थे, अधिकारियों से सीधे सवाल पूछते थे और लापरवाही पर जवाब भी मांगते थे।

Maybe lets try to educate my South Indian friends , what was Bihar till 1950's (Before FEP kicked in )

Its southern mineral belt was one of the most important industrial regions in Asia.

In 1951, the Chhotanagpur region of undivided Bihar produced approximately:
82% of India's coal.
57% of India's mica.
46% of India's iron ore.
The entire reported national output of copper ore.

JamshedpurSteel, engineeringTata Steel, operating since 1907

DhanbadCoalMajor national coal-producing region

BokaroSteelPublic-sector steel plant construction began in the 1960s

RanchiHeavy machineryHeavy Engineering Corporation established in 1958

SindriFertilisersMajor fertiliser manufacturing complex

BarauniPetroleum refiningRefinery commissioned in 1964

JamalpurRailway engineeringHistoric railway workshop

How FEP destroyed it?

Why was this disadvantageous to Bihar?
Before equalisation, Bihar had a natural geographical advantage:
Coal was available locally.
Iron ore was available relatively close by.
Steel and engineering industries could benefit from nearby suppliers.
Other factories could establish themselves around the steel industry.
This could generate more jobs, investment, tax revenue and industrial supply chains.
The policy reduced the importance of that geographical advantage.

For example, a manufacturer considering whether to build a factory in Bihar or Maharashtra had less financial incentive to choose Bihar purely because of its proximity to minerals.

Bihar GDP Contribution was 8% to India was among top 5 state economies. UP was first!

When it ended in 1992 , Bihar in next 7 years faced 2 major setbacks. Start of LALOO raj (1990) and State got divided and 85% mineral wealth and Industries went to Jharkhand.

@tribhu1bisen Additionally, Central Government schemes and incentives for technology development are highly centred South including ISRO, HAL etc.
That's from taxes of every Indian.
Now Imagine other states saying, give us our own institutions.
