This Indian state is the third most populated in the country, but it lags behind much of India in economic development. It borders Nepal and the Himalayas to the north.
India’s sacred river, the Ganges, flows across this state from west to east, dividing it in two.
A 27-year old computer operator from a small village in this state is making headlines all over India.
The answer we’re looking for is the Indian state of Bihar, where 27-year-old Sushil Kumar is living the real-life version of the Hollywood film, Slumdog Millionaire. He’s become the first person to win a million dollars on an Indian television program.
