Totally agree with you. Over here I have some people for some ridiculous reason think chinese dont know how to speak english. They would bend over and pay extra attention to understand them.

I'm German and very proud of it.. but you wouldn't believe what kind of crap I get for being German! People believe I myself am personally responsible for the 2nd world war...!

very true words, the same sort of attitude is seen towards tamilians and malayalees, calling them mallus and annachees with a slight mock in ur tone is so derogatory

Hey came here from Melodrama's blog. I like your blog :) And I can identify with the travails of a Bihari- having to live in alien cities. Must be difficult. And I do have a few Bihari friends from college- I got the impression that they are very warm and hard working people. My Dad was born and educated in Bihar so I do feel an affinity to Bihar :) But ppl do tend to stereotype sadly.

*quotes*Jayalithaa is no less a crook than Laloo. Indeed yes. Imagine passing a law forcing that all elephants have got to be sent on a 'vacation' when there are more pressing matters to deal with in the state.

Good post Ranj. I have interacted with many Biharis in college and during my stay in Bihar. This is quite an eye opener..but I still hold some of my biased views. Wot to do, its human nature.
I liked your defn for Bihari.

i read the article. came here from melo's blog. the article is very well writen. i feel bad about how all the good people, the strong personalities, good brains that come out of bihar just come out and lose their "bihari" identity and the only thing thats left associated with bihar is its dark side. I am a bengali but my family has lived in bihar for ages and half my cousins are bihari. they are - most of them - so different from us. but its bcz of the way condns are over there. and its a vicious cycle
