It is indeed sad to read about the incident in Madhepura. However it is even worse to read the caption of the article (& thanks Rediff for that) and reaction by some of the readers here.
While the poor governance that the state has witnessed in the past (and in some measure continues to witness even now), can't be denied - one can sense the chauvinistic attitude of the media and stereotype that it generates. Somebody suggests that degrees from Bihar should be valid only in India and someone else links this to the large number of IAS coming from Bihar. These are all outcome of the stereotypes that media perpetuates without looking into the incident objectively. We expect little more objectivity in news analysis from Rediff. Its not healthy at all!!!
