      Bihar

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      Bihar, located in eastern India, is one of the country's most historically and culturally significant states. It is bordered by Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Nepal. Historically, Bihar was the seat of ancient Indian empires like Magadha, and the birthplace of religions like Buddhism and Jainism. Today, it is known for its rich culture, vibrant festivals, and a diverse population.

      The state’s economy primarily relies on agriculture, with rice, wheat, and maize being the major crops. In recent years, the state has also seen growth in sectors like education, handicrafts, and small-scale industries. However, Bihar continues to face developmental challenges, such as high population density, floods, and poverty. Patna, the capital city, serves as an important hub for education, commerce, and politics in the region.

      Politically, Bihar has been a crucial state in national politics, often witnessing shifts between key parties like the Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Indian National Congress (INC). The current Chief Minister is Nitish Kumar of the JD(U), who has held office multiple times, often in alliance with the BJP or RJD.

      In July 2021, BOOM fact-checked a viral image claiming to show a flooded garment showroom in Mumbai.

      BOOM found out that the image was from a Raymond showroom in Patna, Bihar, dating back to 2019. This correction emphasized the importance of verifying visuals, as misrepresentation can shape misleading narratives, especially during flood seasons when the state is frequently impacted.
