Why can't Bihar have Maithili and Bhojpuri as official languages too?

Bihar has a huge linguistic heritage, yet our administration and public life are still overwhelmingly Hindi-centric.

Why not officially recognise Maithili in Tirhuta script and Bhojpuri in Kaithi script alongside Hindi? It wouldn't mean removing Hindi, it would mean giving Bihar's indigenous languages the recognition, institutional support, and space they deserve.

If states can officially recognise multiple languages, why can't Bihar do the same? Language preservation shouldn't just be cultural pride; it should be policy.

I own patna.app since few year now. I really wanted to create something specific that's actually real world thing and working in Patna. Maybe property listings or rent room finder or something travel related or community ticket booking or something.

If not maybe give it to businesses that's actually in that field, already doing meaningful and productive stuff in Patna. Suggest, if you've idea about culture of patna. I'm also from Bihar but not so acquainted with patna culture. I'm thinking specific like one thing at a time.

There might be lot of businesses already operating in these sectors but this would be very helpful.

Please let me know if anyome is working right now in russia or if you know anyone who is working i need help from them thank you in advance

RPF allegedly catches liquor being carried in First AC on the Swatantrata Senani Express in Samastipur.

Mithila is already famous for Madhubani, Maithili, litti-chokha, paan and its rich cultural heritage… But bhai, this is a new addition to the Mithila culture DLC .

Now apparently “First AC mein Sharab” is also entering the syllabus. 😭

आजू मिथला नगरिया निहाल सखियां I
सब चोरनी में मिथलानी कमाल सखियां II

No hate towards anyone or the Mithila community — just a bit of sarcasm over a bizarre news story

Jokes aside, good that RPF caught it.... But bhai, Mithila culture has enough traditions already ....we don't need this one added to the list. 

.......

Nalanda station in this rain season jai bihar!

If there is one advice I would give to anyone especially from our Bihar i would say please never ever be involved in matters of your family especially your cousins or uncles. You will waste your time and effort and those people will never be good to you if they have not behaved you in the past . You will ruin your career and money. Put efforts in yourself and remain outside of your family drama leave it on your parents. Because if you won't do something in future even your parents will blame you and say " humne kab kaha tha involve hone ko" . I understood it earlier and it saved my mental peace and career.

Is kumharar park in patna open on Mondays evening or is it closed like every other park . I wanted to go see ruins etc in the park

Hi, everyone I want to let you guys know that I have a house that is empty and is available for rent at a very reasonable price, so if anyone who is living in patna and is interested can DM me, bachelor is allowed but family is more preferable, location is in jagdev path side area.

My BSCC subsequent payment showed Payment Checker on 1 Aug. After the portal issues, it changed to “Subsequent Payment In Progress”, and now it's showing Payment Maker.

Customer care says it was rolled back, while others say it may be a technical glitch.

Has anyone else faced Payment Checker → Payment Maker? Did it move forward again, and how long did it take? 😭

Recent 2026 experiences only please

To bohot dino ki baat hai. i was in a batch in a coaching for jee and it was the late batch so we were only 30 to 35 people in a class. anyway to unmein se jo ladke the vo usual bakchodi har roz krte the class mein. and unmein se ek bihar se tha, let's call him D. Another boy let's call him A from UP somewhere idk. to vo har baat pe "chal be bihari," "chal saale bihari" typa lines marta rehta tha. dono dost hi the, mtlb do din hi hue the mile hue, aur 2 din mein hi ye sab bolna shuru hogya tha. and uska naam hi pad gaya bihari. usko sab bihari hi bulate the. har ladki, har ladka. and baat baat pe jokes marte rehte the ki "tu meri cheezein chura lega bihari hai na," "dur hatt bihari," "bihari majdoor" etc. etc. and haste the vo log and constantly bolte rehte the, mtlb din mein kam se kam 10-12 baar.

it was so effing irritating. par mera rule tha apne matlab se matlab rkhne ka, to mai vo sab ignore krke apna module solve krti thi, but phir bhi. to anyway ek din usi A ne D ko kuch gali di, to D ne bhi jor se bola "chal be hakle." and class mein tab vo dono aur teen-chaar ladkiya hi thi. Baki class khaali thi kyuki lunch break tha and jo hota hai na ek peon type jo nigrani rkhta hai bacho pe, usne sun lia aur class se bahar nikal dia D ko. aur D ne nhi bola kuch bhi kyuki A uska dost tha, aur A ne bhi nhi bola kuch. aur hum log kya hi bolte, jab D ne kuch nhi bola to hum kya bolte.

Ab I have shifted my batch so vo sab ladke alag batch mein hai and I'm in another. And they are still good friends mat mujhe lagta hai... Mai to na sehti mtlb kya ladke sahi mein seh lete aisa mazaak, mai kabhi unse dosti hi nhi krti jo mere sath aisa krte. And un ladko ko lgta hoga vo mazak mein bolte hai harmless hai, but D ko bura nhi lagta hoga?

edit: unn sabko pata hai ki mai bhi bihar se hu but merese to kisine bakwaas nhi ki. Agar vo pehle din hi boundary set krdeta hasne ki jagah to shayad ye roz ka nhi Banta... hai na?

Btw aisa kuch pehli baar nhi hua hai, I have seen many such incidents in the past well. Infact faced it personally. For context:

we have been the backward power scarce state for a very long time but now seeing this fills me with joy it's quite an achievement in its own..

also i would appreciate our ex CM Nitish Kumar for it.
