Which river has been notorious in Bihar for frequent course changes and floods?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kosi

The correct answer is Kosi, or Koshi, because this Himalayan river has historically shifted its channel repeatedly across the plains of northern Bihar. Its heavy monsoon discharge, large sediment load and relatively unstable alluvial course have often produced destructive floods and changes in the river’s path. This is why it is popularly called the “Sorrow of Bihar.” The other choices are not suitable: Mandovi, Netravati and Sharavathi are mainly associated with the western coastal region of India and do not have the same well-known historical association with Bihar’s shifting channels and floods.
