  • Are you educated in Bihar, 'cause you can't even spell "Whole". Before starting to sing praises for Bihar you need to step out of your air conditioned room and look at the pile of crap on the street where dogs and humans feed on trash... This is beyond bottom.... on top of that the politicians and people like you keep talking about how great Bihar is. Get real.
