On 15 November 2000, southern Bihar was ceded to form the new state of Jharkhand.[13] Only 11.3% of the population of Bihar lives in urban areas, which is the lowest in India after Himachal Pradesh.[14] Additionally, almost 58% of Biharis are below the age of 25, giving Bihar the highest proportion of young people of any Indian state.[15]
In ancient and classical India, the area that is now Bihar was considered a centre of power, learning, and culture.[16] From Magadha arose India's first empire, the Maurya empire, as well as one of the world's most widely adhered-to religions: Buddhism.[17] Magadha empires, notably under the Maurya and Gupta dynasties, unified large parts of South Asia under a central rule.[18] Another region of Bihar is Mithila which was an early centre of learning and the centre of the Videha kingdom.[19][20]
Since the late 1970s, Bihar has lagged far behind other Indian states in terms of social and economic development.[21][22][23] Many economists and social scientists claim that this is a direct result of the policies of the central government, such as the freight equalization policy,[24][25] its apathy towards Bihar,[15][26][27] lack of Bihari sub-nationalism,[25][28][29] and the Permanent Settlement of 1793 by the British East India Company.[25] The state government has, however, made significant strides in developing the state.[30] Improved governance has led to an economic revival in the state through increased investment in infrastructure,[31] better health care facilities, greater emphasis on education, and a reduction in crime and corruption.[32][33]
