Criminal politicians like Lalu are not the only 'rulers' of India. There are the IAS rulers, the police rulers, the government machinary rulers, the feudal elite rulers, the have-great-caste-contacts-hence-will-promote-only-my-own-castemen rulers. This system works to humilite, destroy and murder the aspiritions of common people. Then there are rulers like Nithish Kumar, Lalu, Paswan and Mayawati who might try to label themselves as backwards but their behavior is either feudal or one of helplessness. That's why I said only mass education of the lower caste masses and the building of self-confidance and giving them opportunities by not discriminating against them can save Bihar.
