The Himanta Biswa Sarma government is working hard to improve things for the indigenous people.

• They're also making changes to give more power to the indigenous people in politics and society, ensuring fair representation and protecting their land rights.

• They're even conducting a groundbreaking survey to help indigenous communities.

Now, onto Bihar. Nitish Kumar is back in charge of JD(U), and he's eyeing a bigger role in national politics.

• He's gearing up for the upcoming elections and working to maintain his influence.

• However, he's facing challenges from other leaders who want more control, and his allies in Bihar are getting restless.

• It's a bit of a tricky situation for him as he navigates his next steps.
