The story behind ‘Jagir’
Describing about his poem titled ‘Jagir’, Sahil says- On the question of a friend, I described myself as a resident of Delhi.

Sahil says that first of all we have to accept our identity, our identity, our culture. Only then will there be a change. Because change starts with ourselves. We have to proudly say – Yes, we are from Bihar.
