		It should be difficult for me to convey to the Biharees of today the sense of shame and humiliation which I, and some other equally sensitive Biharee friends, felt while prosecuting our studies in Britain, on realising that we were a people without any local habitation with a name.
		The sense of this paiful conviction was, if anything, intensified when on my return to India, early the year, 1893, at the very first railway station in Bihar, I noticed a tall, robust and stalwart British constable wearing the badge with the inscription "Bengal Police".
		But as if it were by an impulse, I resolved then and there to do all that lay in my power to secure for Bihar distinct and honourable status as an administrative unit, with an individuality on the same footing as that of the more important provinces in the country.
