I am not from Bihar or Maharashtra but in the name of national integration this is the time to remember their contributions.
Bihar may be in a bad position now but it is the birthplace of greatness. Whether as the land of great ancient universities or of Bodhgaya or of the great Rajendra Prasad, Bihar has been a well-spring of culture that India should be proud of. I personally think Biharis are extremely intelligent people who have been ruined by their politicians.
Maharashtra has a great tradition of knowledge, culture, and liberalism too. Who in India doesnt love and respect Shivaji or Namdev or Tilak and many other icons. Maharashtra was one of the protectors of Hinduism and Indian nationalism.
Let us not forget all this in a moment's anger or due to the excesses of a wily politician.

After reading teh news 'a commander shot dead in Bihar jail' I am beginning to seriously believe that avarage Bihari unlike average Indian has a criminal core at the centre of his/her personality that is bereft of any sense of morality or higher values.. from top to bottom it is all teh same. Not a single day goes by when bihar doesnt stop surprising us.. Soemtimes I feel the situation in Bihar is even worse than some African and Latin American countries ... Shame on those who represent Biharis and identify with Bihari culture.
