who can be blamed
by Navneet on Mar 19, 2008 08:10 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The sad plight of north indians(people who live in up and bihar)can be attibuted to their bad management of their states. Infact, up and bihar are more fertile than anyother states and they also have natural resources. But the eole who ruled these states totally mismanaged for long period of time. They have not build educational institutions, they discouraged private investments and they always thought they are poor. Caste and religious differences played its role too. These north indians are more interested in their surnames. Everybody has got one behind their names and are proud to called by their surnames (castes) rather than names. Recently I met a coule in bangalore from north. After formal introductions, he asked my surname and he asked again and again and you all now southerners use their father name as their second name. I understood that they basically wnated to know my caste. This is thier mentality and it seems to be ingrained in their culture.

Now the time has come that these people are belted out from everywhere.

Navneet you are not being fair at all

Surprisingly I saw the same thing happening in Maharastra as well. They kept on asking my surname everywhere? Don't be so biased dear. It reflects your corrupt mind!

I am not corrupt minded. This is my experience by and large. Eventhough I live high end aprtment where the culture is truely global, this seems to be the case.

The best thing northerners can do is improve their economic well being of their states and peple so that they become prosperaous in their own states. The problem is only when poor people go to rich state and not when rich state people go to other rich state. Nobody in mUmbai complains about rich shettys who are from karnataka. As simpls as that. This is the case in real life too. unfortunately
