The author has painstakingly brought facts & figures in his book.During election, paramilitary forces or Bihar Military Police are deployed with a sole idea to maitain peace & tranquilty for carrying out smooth poll.Let us praise the Election Commission for carrying out their assignment so well that rigging has almost vanished in recent past!Bihar is having a very rich history.Let us hope that managing this state is not going to be tough any more because of rise in literacy amogst people of both in urban & rural areas!The author who is an eminent jounalist deserves praise for writing out such a valuable book that will be well read by large number of people!

reason is no devalopment in Bihar for last 15 years. Now Nitish is strugling to give slalray to Govt employees live about devalopment
Bal Thakery is right in saying that Lalu has looted Bihar for 15 years and kept looted money in Swiss bank. Thats the reason people in Bihar doesn't have proper agriculuture, industry and devalopment. Patan looks like a district place in any other state. Roads are worst, Prople don't have money for the food. Most of the poors adpated looting. Instead of looting Bihar if Lalu would have devaloped Bihar only few people would have migrated to other parts of the India. Looks like media supports Lalu's looting money in Bihar.
Bihar is a very poor state,i.s why peoples comes from Buhar to Mumbai. But nobody has right to call all the bihari an abusive language. The Bihari people is a very disent and alwyas abide by the rules and regulations. All the bihari respect marati manoos and loves mumbai culture.

Dear no one calls Bihari abusive language. Understaand why most of the Biharis are migrating to other states because there is no devalopment in Bihar. Idiot and cunning Lalu prasad looted Bihar for 15 years

Not justifying Laloo, but Laloo just joined the system. His predecessors were no better. One of them had kept the Patna Railway Station Platform no.1 as collateral for home loan in SBI and this was discovered when SBI went to claim property when he defaulted :)

After reading teh news 'a commander shot dead in Bihar jail' and this article above I am beginning to seriously believe that avarage Bihari unlike average Indian has a criminal core at the centre of his/her personality that is bereft of any sense of morality or higher values.. from top to bottom it is all teh same. Not a single day goes by when bihar doesnt stop surprising us.. Soemtimes I feel the situation in Bihar is even worse than some African and Latin American countries ... Shame on those who represent Biharis and identify with Bihari culture

is your conclusion based on your biases or are you assuming the average Bihari is a gun wielding person who stays in and around jails with a hatred for commanders? you are wrong.
WHAT MAKES THE AUTHOR FEEL, BIHAR WAS EVER MANAGED? IF ANY, IT WAS DAMAGED, AFTER LALU? ONE CAN EASILY WRITE A BOOK "BIHAR BEFORE LALU & AFTER" AND EASILY WIN NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE. ITS A NATIONAL SHAME THAT WE HAVE SOME GOVT RULING IN THE CENTRE.

Remaining Part
3. And as far as corrupt politician is concern I always hate democracy in this country, if someone say that the politicians of their state are honest then it will be a joke of century.list is endless and dont want to go in this useless things.
4. Yes we are backward (on infrastructural level only), but who is responsible for this state.I am not saying this for your SAHANUBHUTI but to say ..........open your eyes.....wide.
5. Biharis are running many governments in many countries, Mauritius is one of them, where people of India love to go.
6. If People here in India (from any state) say that there is no caste system in their state then it is exactly wrong. Look at the surnames, this clearly indicate the caste of that person...

I don't know you will ever read replies to your post, anyway I wanted to say some fact about Mauritius. Among Indians in Mauritius, the linguistic Indian community in population are Bengalis, Biharis & Tamils (includes Malayalees as they assimilated with Tamils), other communities. In that country's history, Tamils are the fastest to shine (proved their hard working and intellectual ability) and Tamils are economically advanced community and culture preserving group. Bengalis then picked up and Biharis are the last among Indians. Until recently most of the plantation works and the rural Indians were Biharis there. Fyi, most temples in Mauritius are built by Tamils. I am not trying to undermine Biharis but don't want Biharis to take undue credit. Thanks!

I am happy to see you proud of what you are.
When you say Biharis run many government in many countries, what are those? Are you trying to include Suriname, Guatemala, Fiji, Trinidad, Tobago etc??? Biharis are not a significant group there. Just curious to know.

Ravi Verma go to hell for your illogical point no 6. Surnames exist in WB and the NE states. Show me who apart from settled Biharis and people using "traditional marriage" using castes. And just in case you didnt note - Many people have already dropped surnames in Bihar. And because you think like surname=caste criminals like Pappu have added Yadav to their surname. 5. Poeple of Mauritrius are of Bihari origin but they have settled with hard work there. that is why it is better, in India average migrant Biharis (not all) carry their hangover to whereevr they go 4. Bihar is not only lacking in infrastructure but also in law and order. The system also suffers from short sightedness as is evident from flood industry wvery year 3. Power corrupts and same is in any political system including democracy. Every state suffers from corrupt politcians but still they progress Be proud for being Indian but if you want to feel proud of being BIhari, please do not underplay the shortcomings. Work on bettering them please.
