🧵We never tire of celebrating the Mauryas. In our telling, they appear almost as divine figures, men who woke one morning and decided, as if by an act of pure will, to build the greatest empire the subcontinent had ever seen. An empire not merely vast but morally extraordinary, one that cared for its humans with dignity and extended that care even to animals alike, something unimaginable to every preceding civilization. We speak of this as though it descended from the heavens, as though Chandragupta and Ashoka were Gods rather than products of history. We Biharis, of all people, must refuse this narrative.

नालंदा की प्रसिद्ध बावन बूटी कला बिहार की गौरवशाली हस्तकरघा परंपरा का प्रतीक है। हाथ से बुने कपड़ों पर 52 विशिष्ट रूपांकनों की कलात्मक बुनाई इसे देशभर में एक अनूठी पहचान प्रदान करती है। बिहार की समृद्ध कला, संस्कृति और पारंपरिक शिल्प को नई पहचान मिली है। सरकार के प्रयासों से GI टैग प्राप्त ये धरोहरें अब वैश्विक मंच पर बिहार की विशिष्ट पहचान को सशक्त बना रही हैं। #BawanButi #NalandaHeritage #NalandaWeaves #BiharHandloom #Bihartourism #BiharCulture #GITaggedHeritage #HandloomIndia #TraditionalCraft @tourismgoi @singh_loke34264 @kedarguptain @incredibleindia

Could retired senior police officers from Bihar offer an insider's perspective on the state's policing system? Specifically, how are police personnel trained, what values and skills are emphasized during training, where does the system fall short, how can it improve, and how does it compare with some of the world's best policing models? Discussion on Bihar-centric policing reforms is very limited, this needs to be discussed.

COAL MINISTER G KISHAN REDDY FLAGS REPORTED DISAPPEARANCE OF 40 LAKH TONNES OF COAL, SEEKS URGENT PROBE INTO SCCL

UP & Bihar need not compete with others on landscapes. Foreigners need not & do not visit India to see beaches & peaks. For that, they have Brazil, Italy & Mexico. They visit India to see Varanasi, Agra, Bodhgaya, Nalanda, Jaipur, Kailash temple, Brihadeshwara, Hampi.

When you teach children that "all humans are resources" and that a massive population is a boon rather than a burden, without first building the capacity to educate and employ them, this is the inevitable outcome. Start teaching that a massive population is a curse. We need a smaller, capable and well-read population, that's sufficient to build a great civilization.

The reality hits harder. Instead of building national capacity, the BJP and its supporters spent 12 years proclaiming that India had become Vishwaguru, that the world respects us and blah blah. But international politics is not driven by slogans. America respects hard power, economic strength, technological capability, and strategic leverage, not jumla. Reality eventually catches up with rhetoric.

West Bengal is politically and socially rotten. It feels as though it is trapped in a medieval age of barbarism. Democracy was devised to prevent bloodshed and perpetual enmity during transfers of power. But in WB, the same democratic system is often subverted, the ruling party(regardless of ideology) go on to eliminate opposition, mostly by killing and imprisonment. WB is so deeply rotten that it seems beyond redemption.
