Bihar Social Network - YouBihar

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 07, 2009 – YouBihar is a social networking site directed to the great people of Bihar. The ancient history of Bihar is virtually the history of India. Bihar in the olden days was called Magadha ruled by the mighty king called Ashoka the Great. His kingdom comprised nearly whole of India and Afghanistan. The capital of Magadha of what is today Bihar was Patliputra. YouBihar is a dedication to the glory of Magadha.

It is often thought the people of Bihar are rustic. The story is far from it, the people of Bihar are actually well educated and can be found in high positions all around the globe. For instance, a large number of Indian doctors in the United Kingdom are from the state of Bihar. In addition, a large number of specialist doctors are from Bihar not only in India but in numerous countries.

In Bihar, Lord Gautama Buddha attained his Nirvana and this where Jainism was established. These 2 major religious beliefs had significant influence on world history. Bihar is also featured to have the celebrated Nalanda University. The Chinese scholar Fa-Hien was all praises for this establishment in his memoris. Bihar has been the province of several civilizations; the most celebrated amidst them being Mithila and Bhojpuri. At one this culture extended an area bigger than the nowadays Madhya Pradesh. The Mithila civilisation has many outstanding characteristics like Mithila paintings, the Maithili spoken language, Mithila folk music and the most illustrious Panjikaran system. Mithila features in the Indian mythology and as well in the Ramayana (Hindu holy books).

It is here that Aryahatta, the India mathematician lived and wrote his mathematical treatise. It is on this very land of Bihar that Aryabhatta invented “zero” and algebra. The present Taregana village in Bihar is thought to be his observatory. The American NASA suggested this village be converted into a heritage site and suggested one of the best places in the world for watching stars and eclipses. It is here that Vatsyana composed the Kamasutra, it is here that the most celebrated woman in Indian mythology (Mother Sita) was born.  

The role of YouBihar is to highlight the lost glories of Bihar. People of Bihar are aware of these accomplishments however they need to talk it in the open. The role of YouBihar social networking is to bring Bihar in the world map.
