In Bihar there has
been a good deal of mixture among the various castes. Though Brahmins
and Kshatriyas belong to the same racial stock, the Kshatriyas are
more mixed because of their marriage with various stocks of people.
The lower castes like the Koiri, Kurmi, Kahar and Ahir |
 |
represent various racial strains.Caste
rivalries and prejudices are numerous in Bihar.The narrow-mindedness
of the people is one of the chief causes of the unsatisfactory state
of Bihar politics. But now though modern life, better education
and above all the efforts of its enlightened youth, are gradually
doing away with the prejudices. |
