there is something terribly wrong with UP n Bihar. people get the leaders they deserve. so the leaders over there are a good reflection of the society they are ruling.
people of bihar n UP will forever blame the politicians for the mess, n the same people will risk their lives to vote for the leader who is the messiah for their caste. wht have the people over thr done to get rid of their corrupt politicians. maximum number of politicians with criminal records are from these two states. people of bihar will vote for criminals like sadhu yadav, shibu soren n syed shahbuddin knowing very well tht these guys are accused (n convicted) of having committed heinous crimes. WHY DO THEY THEN BLAME THE SAME POLITICIANS FOR ALL THE MESS??? society there is divided based on religion n caste/sub caste. people thr do not mind dying for the honour of their caste, but not many wud do anything constructive for their state.
Bihar is blessed with tonnes n tonnes of natural resources still it happens to be the most undeveloped region in India and possibly among the worst in the entire world.
educated people are running away from the state cos they know its a hopeless place. they dont see any opprtunity there. they are applying for govt jobs in other states so tht they can move outta tht place. most biharis who are migrating to big cities are poor people with not enuff money to even manage next days meals. desperation for money leads them into the world of crime.
people from big cities are treating biharis like a menace..people who are eating up their jobs and creating all sorts of problems for them (safety, hygiene etc etc). thts the reason they were bashed up at a mumbai railway station by shiv sainiks. i condemn it though.
Cheating is rampant in schools, colleges n every place. students who apply to universitites outside bihar do so with fake certificates. Infact University of Delhi does not trust bihari certificates so a double check is done. this double check is only for 'MADE IN BIHAR' certificates. also Bihari students are known to be very dependent on leaked exam papers to clear competitive examinations.
for all the biharis who are dreaming of a developed n prosperous Bihar, the change must come from the grassroot level. No politician is ever gonna do anything for ur benefit. if the people change, so will the politicians.

Good one. I feel that this article on rediff is just a good PR by Bihar govt. Nitish is trying to improve Bihar but it will take decades to change the fortunes of Bihar. I have come across many good natured Biharis - from labourere to managers to IT people. But these people are scared of going to back to Bihar. A marketing manager with a big steel co told me this. "I have not gone to my town in Bihar for 20 years. I am scared that if people there know that I am doing well in Mumbai, I will be kidnapped for ransom. If my relatives want to see me, I call them here but I will never go there." I can give dozens of examples like this given by Bihari people or those who have stayed in Bihar. Outsiders literally run away from Bihar. In terms of poverty, Orissa is poorer but people are not so criminal minded. Maharashtra, TN and Karnataka may be richer than Bihar but they have their own share of poor people. What differentiates poor Biharis from others is criminal mentality. "Jiski Lathi Uski Bhains" was probably coined by Biharis. I was told a story about how people kill simply because someone refused to give seat in bus or train. I just want to ask one question. How many people on this board who are glorifying Bihar "actually live" in Bihar and can say their life is very good? I read a story in TOI about an NRI BIhari doctor who came to Patna to participate in the "Rising Bihar" sunnit organized by Nitish Kumar. But before he reached there, he was propmtly robbed in broad daylight in Patna. And this is preety common according to Biharis I meet in Mumbai. Most blame Lalu for this mess. "Maine Swarg to nahi diya, magar "swar" (voice") diya" was his catch line to garner backward votes. Come on you Bihari guys, if you feel bad about Bihar bashing, go to Bihar and vote (if you can ...), change politicians ... Individually, very few people are bad, it is how they behave as a community gives them good or bad reputation !!!

good comments buddy.
i have a non bihari friend who had to go to bihar for some important office work. he had a terrible experience n it started whn the train he was travelling in entered Bihar.
his one day in Patna was enuff for him to vow never to return to tht place. Because
-women are physically molested n are subjected to lewd comments in the trains n buses.
-seats in trains n buses are meant for goons only.
-issuing of business tenders is a mere formailty. the tenders are won by the group with maximum muscle power.

What a sad person you are!!
Actually go to Bihar and have a look. Women in Bihar are treated with much more respect than they are in Mumbai & Delhi. People like you should dig a hole somewhere and bury yourself there. You are a nuisance to India.
