History

Bihar is known as magadh in the ancient times and its capital patna is known as pataliputra. Ashoka was the important ruler of this place.

Yes. i have read in my history book. The great king Ashoka ruled here. And who can forget him who was the main reason who spreaded buddhism here in India and also to much other countries.

[traveller]

He was a true religious minded person. He also sent his two children aboy and a girl to the far east so that they can spread buddhism there.

[redpouch]

Not only King Ashoka,but even the great Buddhas journey entailed around Bihar.

Inspite of the rich history of the state, the state is today in doldrums. It seems so unbelievable that this could happen to such great states of yester times.
