बिहार के पास बहोत क्षमता है, हर क्षेत्र में पर दुर्भाग्य ये है कि राज्य को कोई अच्छा नेता नहीं मिल सका जो बिहार को प्रगतिशील बना सके। वो यही चाहते है कि लोग अनपढ, पिछड़े रहे और उनकी राजनीति चलती रहे 😢

I used to follow this channel since beginning, but noticed that he had time for every other state except Bihar. This shows people's lack of understanding about Bihari cuisine, culture - as they don't want to explore. But, truth is far from this. Bihar has much to offer in terms of culture, cuisine, tourism....& much more. Glad he got time to visit Bihar. Welcome...!

[@divyansh7572]

For your Kind information, it is Mithila cuisine and food, not Bihari cuisine, it has nothing to do with Bihar. It has its own identity.

[@Dominatingman]

What is bihari culture don't mix up bro......everyone has different cultures and languages.Bihar is a state of different cultures and languages you can say that.but mixing up like politician is nothing but to deteriorate the local culture

[@ramansingh503]

​@@divyansh7572 More than 70% of Bihar's area is Mithila only, why shouldn't its food be called Bihari cuisine?

[@divyansh7572]

​​​@@ramansingh503 Because it has its own history, Litti-chokha type things are Bihari things, Mithila's things are of Mithila's, it represents parts of Nepal too. If guys haven't even given recognition to its language, shameless, removed Maithili from BPSC, Bimar state.

[@BJha-bc2li]

Why should it be called Bihari when it's actual identity is Maithili ? ​@@ramansingh503

[@sahay2757]

I’m a native of Darbhanga and I sincerely thank you and your channel for planning a visit to my city, the heart of Mithila, Darbhanga. Darbhanga as a place has lots to cover, discuss, and learn, though much has turned into ruins and whatever that remains hasn’t been maintained properly by the state government and thereby no surprise that you could wrap up Darbhanga within minutes in your video. Had this place been given its due importance, it too could have been gone on to find a place of its own in historical places of the country. I went ecsatic while watching your video and wished if you could have gone on to cover something more, the guides alongside you would have helped you know more about the city, something more about the historic significance and the prominence this city holds in building the independent India. I’m pretty sure that you would be be aware of the presence of the Darbhanga road in Delhi to the Darbhanga ghat in Varanasi to the Darbhanga house in Kolkata. The white house (covered in your video) had air conditioned rooms built on the same concept of forts of North India and the Raj campus which is also known as the Naulakha Palace (built with INR 9 lakh) also had railway lines in its premises. Darbhanga, in its yesteryears was way ahead of its time wrt infrastructure and education but all thanks to the governments that followed post independence, the city lost all its worth and charm. It still somehow tries to hold its guard against the wind, not sure until when. But thanks again for covering my city in your video. One interesting point, Darbhanga derives its name from Dwar-Bang (Gateway to Bengal) and this is the reason that you’ll find cultural similarities between the cities of Mithila and Bengal. Hope you could get a taste of the food and the warm hospitality, something that we, Mithilawasis are known for. Wish you could have also gone on to have the paan of Mithila since Mithila is considered incomplete without Paan, paag (a head wearing attire), makhaan. While watching your video on Madhubani paintings, you put up a question to Smt. Dulari ji’s brother asking about a painting depicting a marriage. The marriage shown in that painting is of Goddess Sita and Lord Ram. Goddess Sita, being the daughter of Mithila, you’ll find most of the Mithila paintings revolving around their marriage rituals. And another painting was of Sh. Vidyapati ji, one of the greatest and wildly renowned Maithili poet. Vidyapati being a devout of Lord Shiva, impressed him and the God came down to live in his devotee’s house as his servant. Long story short, this Mithila region of Bihar is deeply rooted to the Hindu culture and we truly take immense pride in. Thanks a lot and I wish you come down again sometime to make a wider and deeper coverage of our region. Wishing only the best to you and your channel. May it go on to make a huge success. Unity in diversity is the beauty of our nation. Jai Bharat! Jai Shree Ram! 🙏🏻❤️🇮🇳👏🏻
