At the outset let me thank Rediff for coming out with such a touching report on education and that too from Bihar. I entirly agree with Venkataraman that I found Biharis very inteliigent and knowledgable in thier subject. I studied fm similar school and all my teachers where fm Bihar(Darbhanga Dist) and few were fm Gorakhpur(UP). They were the most knowlegable teachers I have ever come across in my career. The whole country has very wrong notion about Biharis. The only thing which Bihar need is good governance. it had mared and plagued by corrupt politicians overs the years. Finally Bihar has got Nitishji who is honest. I am sure Bihar will do well under his leadership.
