Biju Janata Dal Politicians
Biju (Malayalam: ബിജു) is a popular male name in India, especially in Bengal, Orissa, Kerala, and Bangladesh. ''Biju'' is derived from the similar rhyming name ''Viju''. It is highly likely that ''Viju'' is an affectionate version of the name ''Vijaya'', which means ''Victory'' in Sanskrit and several Indian languages. It has a similar meaning in Chinese as well. Biju is associated with Arjuna, the great warrior hero of the Mahabharatha. In Kerala, the name Biju is used by all communities: Hindus, Christians, and Muslims, and thus is a secular name, although many have added suffixes which indicate their caste or community. For example, Biju Cheriya Othayoth Eramala (ബിജു ചെറിയ ഒതയോത് ബാലകൃഷ്ണൻ ഏറാമല ), in which ബിജു is the first name, ബാലകൃഷ്ണൻ is the first letter of father's name and ചെറിയ ഒതയോത് is the house name. This name also may have derived from the French ...

People From Bargarh
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
