agreed that criminal politicians are everywhere, but one does not need to stay in bihar/UP to understand that daily life is completely lawless there. just travel through these areas in a train and it is apparent. biharis/bhaiyyas should not take this as a criticism and argue of "us vs them". they should accept this as constructive criticism and try to influence their brethren back home about the image. also, they should stop creating trouble wherever they go, encroaching on land, driving autos, selling some chaat... etc i have been in 3 states and biharis are coming in their hundreds to all these places. while india is one country, it is sad that a state with such mineral resources should be so poor. IT IS NOT THE MEDIA WHICH IS GIVING THE BIHARI/UP A BAD NAME, IT IS THEY THEMSELVES. SO STOP BLAMING AND HAVE A THINK: WHY NO NEW INDUSTRIES ARE SET UP THERE? WHY IS LAW AND ORDER SO PATHETIC? it will help you only. comparing mumbai with bihar is laughable. you have never been to bombay, i suppose.
