Are you from Bihar? Oh! You are Bihari. Then you must be expert in corruption, have all the bad habits like smoking, drinking etc. You may have police record. So this is India’s opinion about Bihar. Actually this word ‘Bihar’ has become synonym of poverty, corruption, backwardness, violence and failed governance. Both print and Media coverage are responsible for this general opinion about Bihar. So what is the reality? I agree Bihar are poor but Biharis are not. There is no proper infrastructure, low literacy rates and big population but still Biharis try their level best to survive there. Today I am talking about Bihar due to recent comment by Goa minister. He told while participating in the discussion during the ongoing Goa Legislative Assembly session, there will be more beggars in Goa, if trains linking it to Patna are introduced. This remark has hurt the sentiments of the people of Bihar. So the minister thinks that Bihar is a state where all people are beggars. Mr. Minister, Biharis are not not beggars, they have earned enough respect and status and done Bihar proud through sheer merit and hard work.
Let me remind you about the greatness of Bihar ::

I personally don’t have anything against bohar or bihari in general. No culture can be said bad its just the way thing are performed there…
India get similar nametag on map of worlld… yes inspite of all great thing we boast about…So where do these tags come from.. Basiclly its the way outside world perceives you….For this to changes (which not necessorily mean always good) they has to be social shift..
To comment on your points, i don’t agree with greatness list and all that kinda stuff.. its all rubbish…
Its medevil list harldly any current achiever (Lalu would have been one had you included in it). IN those days probably people never talked about Bihar the way they talk about it now.
Second the statastical data are ambigious.. for few reasons…
1) correctness is not guranteed.
2) it has to be looked in terms of population density and total number of people you doing it with..so kerla comparison is wrong and so is mumbai..more bloddshed wold happen in city like and mumbai and who know how many go unnoticed and un reported in bihar…
3) these are not even factor for which bihar is underrated… Let say they have max IAS(shows importance of being in power) how many MBAs they got then.. so if they are excelling somewhere they are loosing it somewhere… AP may be great other areas.
Perceptiption is only issue and people do that without knowing which i guess which is wrong.
No beggars from Bihar… but definetely good bloggers!
I am just curious about where you got your data. Can you prove all those facts about Bihar are correct. Other than the hispotical facts, I doubt anything about literacy, education, profession or even violence is correct about bihar especially if you are comparing your data to states like Kerala, Tamilnadu and Andhra. When you write, either you need to mention that your oprion or site a source of tour information rather than just spitting out incorrect information.
good article. are you part of http://www.jaibihar.com?
rgds
No, but I am regular visitor of JaiBihar.com, It is one of the best websites on Bihar.
Iam ramesh singh from Kosala state (chhapra) permenently settled in Mumbai working as HR Manager in Multinational company.
Why we are blaming ourselves? We the people of Bihar are hardworking people. We are faithful to our employer and cooperate with them in the intrest of our company.
We are the threat for them, because we learn marathi, mix with their culture and also practice our culture also.
After we are belonging to land of Bhagwan Mahavir, gautam budha, gurugovind singh , land of mother sita and great empror samrat Ashok.
Let avoid all this rubbish thing, they will shout and one day they will be keep quiet.
We are proud to be Biharis.
EK BIHARI SAB PAR BHARI.
History clearly indicates that thackrey parivar are north Indians not Maharashtrians as per Arayan theory
nendak neeyre rakhiye angan kuti chavay
bin paani sabun bina nirmal kare subhay
so please bihariyon par comment karte rahiye
tabhi to hum aage badh rahe hain aur aap piche jaa rahe hain
please keep going
i am a bihari and i proud to be on
i am a bihari so i have proud that i born in bihar which is the best state of country because it is provided all types of workers like helpers managers directors officers civil servant and politicians in comparison of other state of india.
Bihar was once a good state but not anymore and there is nothing that anyone can take proud of being bihari.state is full of corruption and cunning and gunda people and you are still taking a pride of being born there.you should be ashamed instead.
if u feel like biharis are beggars… i tell u all ministers and all people of different states to just put forth a revolt to throw bihar out of India… I will see then where Indian economy goes…. up or down…… every state is taking money and manpower from Bihar and blaming it
It will have valid weight if u try giving sm authentic source of those facts which u hv put up as “Some more facts about Bihar which I got in my mail”… I need to know as Being a Bihari I should be authentic and accurate otherwise… People wud say “after all he is a ‘Bihari’ !!”
I have no personal grudge against Bihar or the people of that state. We are indians. But then the rate at which they are moving into other states is so high and their habits of smoking, drinking and eating tobacco and ghutka and dirtying the place where they stay isn’t expected. Most of them assume that things are ok if they spit around..
If humanity exists, please try to keep the place clean and respect others too..
EK BIHARI SAB PAR BHARI is the sign of arrogance..
Bihar is doing a lot better than other states, no wonder Ntish Kumar has received many awards.
every coin having two faces..
Bihar is grt as also my Biharis Brothers & Sisters…! We respect their Hard work & dedication s where eber they travel across world.
No one can disrespect Biharis due to any mistake of individual.
Bihar Stands for Best….!!
Biharis are uncultured and uncivilized. Show offs trying to show how great they are always.All Biharis indulge in corruptions of the highest rank like leaking prestigious competitive exam papers, engineering and medical college admissions using bribes, ganging up and creating violence againsts other state people. good that Marathis are teaching them a good lession. Before you ask others why they hate you rather ask yourself why you are hated. The truth will be obvious.
Try to Indian first and not Bihari first.
Respect to Bihar not to fuckwit biharis who give bad name to bihar.
biharis dont think abt past you guys hav no respect for gals go to hell your black uneducated then you stink
then why bihari men are raping more women in goa than goan men.
If Biharis are so great, why do they migrate in Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and South? Why these people don’t migrate to Bihar? Simple! Biharis can exploit infrastructure; but cannot create it or maintain law and order. The tax revenue of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil nadu is 90% of India’s total tax revenue. Yet, it devolution, these states get the least, and more tax goes to UP and Bihar. Look at number of trains for them. Still, these “great” people migrate and then spit and the same plate they eat in.
Are u human? What’s wrong in saying in ourselves, great, at least we have something to say about greatness. Hahhaa u become human 1st, culture and civic sense, better u look to yourself. Bihari is the most innocent people on this earth.due their innocent people like questions on their existence. Corruption my foot. Lalu is corrupt but what about other states Cm, Reddy brothers to Prakash Singh Badal are innocent because they are not from Bihar. Your statement shows you are a blunt asshole with presumed self-proclaimed perception.U don’t have experienced the diversity of our Nation.
