Being from Bihar.

Disclaimer: Feelings are personal and may vary person to person.

I belong from Gaya district of Bihar. You might have heard Gautam Buddha got enlightenment here. I have friends from almost all state of India. I have always heard about Bihar from them. They say Bihar is not a good place and it is home for hooligans and blah blah. Many people use Bihari as a synonym of goons. Why this image is there in their mind? This is the question always pondered me.

No doubt Bihar is a poor state and its all because of the politicians who ruled after independence(exceptions are there). If you see history of bihar you will find its importance. King Ashoka, chandragupta, Chanakya, aryabhatt many more personalities belong from here. You can find many freedom fighter as well as social worker hailing from Bihar like Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Jay prakash narayan and many more. Also you can find many civil servants serving the country and they belong from Bihar.

Now I return to my question. No doubt at every nook and corner you can find a Bihari and this migration is only because to quench the appetite.This image of Bihari is because of some community who commit crimes across the country. Criminal type community is available every where. Rajasthan is always in limelight for honour killing , Haryana in drugging and there are many more.

One serious issue why Bihar is not developing is because people studying from there leaves Bihar. They get settled in other states or sometimes abroad. I also belong to the same category and initially i was also having same plan but now frankly speaking i want to go back to my proud birth place and do something for my own people. Also i urge Bihari to come back to our beautiful village and lets develop it together.

At last, Bihar is indestructible part of India. For other state people i would ask one question do you leave your one family member who is weak or you support them to become strong? Bihar has deviated from the path of development and need your support.

Jai Hind!
