Good points that you made Vishy. While I certainly do not agre with the approach of Raj Thackeray, there is certainly some amount of merit in the facts stated by the Thackerays that those who have turned Bihar into hell should not try teach nationalism to Mumbai and Maharashtra. The facts do show that Bihar is a hellhole due to years of neglect, illiteracy, corruption, Gunda Raj and the criminal politician nexus. No where have I seen the level of casteism, corruption, apathy, anarchy, deprivation & poverty and such a gap between the Rich and Poor as in Bihar.Now that the mineral rich portion of Bihar has gone to Jharkand (another hellhole with all the dirty political shenanigans, defection, et al)the poor people of Bihar will find themselves in a catch22 situation -unable to survie in their home state and unwelcome everywhere else. Imagine the gall of Lalu Yadav and his Rabri that after looting the state for close to 15 uninterrupted years, they are now self appointed guardians and spokespersons of the Mumbai based Biharis!! What the hell is their base in Mumbai??? I at least hope that some new leaders will be able to do better in Bihar and improve the lot of the hapless people there
