One thing I'd like to point out about Bihar and its people, no offense please. I found them to be extremely rude, specially the educated rich class. We were travelling by train, there was a mishap with the seat numbers, so one couple with their two college educated kids boarded the train and told us to get off, we said give us a few mins as my parents were travelling with me. The couple came off extremely rude and used very foul language, we kept saying give us a few minutes cause about 200 bihari people have crammed themselves in the the coach taking up every inch of space, no space was left to move around, it turned into a heated argument. But few other bihari people who were travelling in the coach and sleeping on the floor came to help us and moved the suitcases. Saw two sides of Bihar that day, the educated obnoxious class and the poor class who helped us to move the luggages. From that day whenever we would travel via train if the train entered Bihar we would always travel in the AC compartment.

You are basing your entire judgement on a single experience. Even that is not consistent. While you say Biharis are rude and rich class more so, your experience says that rich couple were rude and others helpful. I have had similar experiences in South India while traveling in train, but very few times compared to the good experiences I have had. I am not judging entire state based on some single experience.
It is shame that such a judgemental comment with very little evidence to support it and actually evidence quite contrary to the assertion is being upvoted by everyone. It is consistent with comments elsewhere on this subreddit. People just hate Bihar.

This is not specific to Bihar, is it? You can have that experience anywhere in India.

It's generally not advisable to travel in sleeper/general compartments of trains in Bihar and U.P.

Rich, rude people
Fret no much. You are going to find them in every nook and cranny of our country - every state, every district, every mohalla..

Clearly they were not very well educated. Getting a degree doesn't necessarily mean getting an education.

What would be the best time to visit Bihar? Mostly interested in visiting Gaya and places nearby.

Any time other than summer, visited Rajgir in may, it was horrible. But its fine in winter.
