[1]. The state of Bihar becomes the focal point of the debate, in this essay, on the demand of special state status as the issue was raised very vociferously by the chief minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar even though the similar demands were raised by different states in different parts of India especially Orissa and West Bengal. Though the different contexts are instrumental in shaping the intent as well content of the demand by the various states, but I think a common minimal argument, which is coming out of this essay, could be extended to all the differential contexts as far as the language of the demand is concerned.
[2]. It is unfortunate that the issue of demand of 'special state' status in India has not got even the minimum space in academic journals. The newspaper editorials and the electronic media have tried to fulfill the space with opinions, rather with a well documented research. Also, the opinions have functioned on the minimalist levels. It has discussed only the pros and cons of the demand rather the nature and the language of demand itself.
[3]. Nowhere, I want to claim that the way out presented in the paper is exhaustive in nature. It is one of the several possible way out many would look forward to come out from the present dilemma of Bihar's demand. Having, but, different and even stronger way out does not mean Bihar's demand of 'special state' status is not based on the contradictory imaginations. One important intention regarding the selection of this topic, for the seminar paper, is to start a debate and discussion on the burning issue of Bihar. So, the clear intention is to initiate a discussion rather than an attempt towards the hasty solutions.
