Update population data
editupdate the the population data according to the 2023 census conducted in bihar. Jmurravi (talk) 15:57, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Editors can update it, if they provide citations to a reliable source that supports their changes.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Can't be done. This is a survey and not a census. Survey data is considered official. Census data is official. Anways leaving this debate, Bihar Government has taken back the report of the survey because of some mistakes. Doesn't make any sense. Shaan SenguptaTalk 16:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Sourcing for origin of Buddhism
edit@Manoj nav: It looks like you added the citation "Mishra Pankaj, The Problem, Seminar 450 – February 1997" on 19 November 2008 (in this edit) in support of the claim that Buddhism originated in Bihar. This sounds like a lecture given as part of a class? Wikipedia requires sources to be durably archived for verification purposes, so is there a recording of this lecture anywhere, or is it actually a text of some kind? This topic is complicated and disputed, so it would be helpful to find a source that is more specific than simply "arose", especially in the body text. It would also be good to know if the underlying sources are religious texts, or evidence found by historians or archaeologists. -- Beland (talk) 21:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
