When was the Bihar State formed ?
None of the above
None of the three years offered is correct — option 4. The province came into being in 1912.
The sequence.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1765 | The Company obtains the diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa; Bihar becomes part of the Bengal Presidency |
| 12 December 1911 | At the Delhi Durbar, George V announces the annulment of the partition of Bengal and a reorganisation of the eastern provinces |
| 1 April 1912 | The province of Bihar and Orissa comes into existence, with Patna as its capital |
| 1936 | Orissa separated; Bihar becomes a province in its own right |
| 15 November 2000 | Jharkhand carved out of southern Bihar |
Why 1911 is the trap. Option 2 gives the year of the announcement, which is the date most often remembered because the Durbar was such a spectacle. But a proclamation is not the creation of a province: the new administration began work the following April. The same distinction governs the transfer of the capital to Delhi, announced in 1911 and effected in 1912.
How the demand had grown. Biharis had complained for decades that within the Bengal Presidency the jobs, the education and the official language all favoured Bengal. The campaign was carried by Sachchidananda Sinha, Mahesh Narayan and Ali Imam, and by the paper The Beharee, founded in 1900. An earlier success had come in 1881, when Hindi in the Devanagari script replaced Urdu in the courts of Bihar — the first province in India where that happened.
On answering such a question. When three plausible years are offered and none is the one you know to be right, “none of the above” is not a fallback but the answer — provided the correct year is firmly held. Here it is 1912.
Hence, the answer is None of the above.
