Honestly though (and no offense to anyone), there is not much reason to tour states like Bihar, Jharkand, West Bengal (ex-Darjeeling, unless you're planning to join the Maoist insurgency
); Andhra Pradesh, Orissa (unless you want to temple hop); or Haryana (don't bother, just get on a flight to Singapore
).
You're underestimating these places.
Bihar has really interesting ancient buildings like Mahabodhi Temple, Vishnupada Temple, Sasaram, Patliputra, Maner Sharif (and this is just off the top of my head)
Jharkhand has Khandoli Dam and Latehar, although I agree that there is much less to see than a lot of other states. I've heard that it's a really good place for adventure tourism..
West Bengal has not only Darjeeling, but also Calcutta. Calcutta is a very historic city, and it's called "city of palaces" for a reason...
Andhra Pradesh has
Tirupati, Hyderabad. Even Vishakapatnam (Vizag) is a nice city... Vizag has an ancient Simhachalam temple, Totlakonda (Buddhist site), the beaches are really nice, and to my great amusement, they even had a submarine museum.
Orissa has plenty of temple hopping opportunity
It also has the nicest beaches I've seen in India, and lots of interesting birds for bird watchers.
I will admit that there is nothing to do in Haryana...
