Completely rubbish blog. Born and brought up in Maharashtra and crying about Bihar. Confused about identity?

And Oh yes! I shall be putting up a fiesta of posts on Bihar on my blog shortly.
This one will surely be there.

Excellent post..
Yes, the first thing that hit me when I came to college was being labelled as a bihari, and then being laughed at, and seriously I couldn't find what was so funny.
Thankfully I have some great friends and also I have debated my way to keeping people's mouths shut about speaking ill of a person from Bihar. But I still don't know if I have been able to remove the thoughts from their mind. Its difficult. I can't play mom and dad to 19 year olds, but I tried my best, and I'm still doing so.
Last day itself I fought a college mate on Orkut who asked a junior to go and stink in NIT Jamshedpur as it is in Bihar.(Technically wrong though ;) )

brilliantly executed arguments :)
you are the first one who is not trying to feign ignorance about what all is wrong with bihar. Not that it matters, but I respect you for accepting things as they are. Acceptance is always the first step towards solving a problem, and this was probably the reason I never had respect for biharis in general, they try to mask reality, they hate being told that bihar sucks. But when there is no pretense you have no reason to scoff at.

Hi Sidhartha,

I can understand your feelings. I'm a Bihari. Currently, I'm in Singapore. Even here sometimes my Indian colleagues make ridiculous comments about Bihar. Sometimes it hurts extremely. It becomes difficult to control emotions. I've been living in various parts of India and outside.Everywhere I've found that people are biased against Bihar and Biharis. Sometimes even my GM used to make obscene comments about Bihar and Biharis. Yes, it is India. Everybody just hates everybody.

Wow!!Seth.You write so fluent and so vivid.Yah!One should be judged by his/her own individual capabilities and achievements rather than by linking him/her to the community he/she belongs.
Every community or state or cult has got its good and bad points and what public knows of it is which aspects are frequently publicised by media and all.

:)I guess.... every state, anywhere in the world, would be proud to have at leeeeeast one Siddharth Seth !!!

(heyyyy......did u know the letters of my name correspond one-on-one with that of Bihar & that Lalooji has helped to increase the revenue from railways in his term as Railway minister....and that he received a pat from our beloved Manmohan Singh for his innovative reforms....ooops ....i talked a bit extra..)

Take care...!
We all are proud of u !

2005-10-02T23:31:43.103+05:30

to Kapil: thanks for your post which inspired me to write this one..

to Arnab: thanks for the comment.. agreed that successive blogs are pretty suggestive of the fact that we are looking at it as a war.. the world is pretty small and life pretty short to engage in a mindless thing like war on any other community.. i agree with you that the blog is quite poignant, but believe me, it needed to be done.. i haven't painted a very rosy picture of Bihar at all and also, by not doing so, i don't want to earn brownie points for being a neutral guy.. the facts about the state are there for everyone to see, and I, an IIT Kharagpur student sitting comfortably on my chair with all forms of technology around me, cannot even claim to champion the cause of countless underprivileged of Bihar, but atleast urge people to become more receptive and aware.. I sometimes commit the mistake of marking every bengali as lethargic, but you are one example of an industrious bengali.. and you are bengali for me because you speak bangla, you talk of bangla literature and so on..
thanks again for the comment.. as i said, it makes me learn :)

to Naveen: thanks dear for the refreshing comment.. yeah bhojpuri with its sweet endings is indeed a very sweet language :).. i shall never cringe at the mention of the word Bihar and nor would I blindly neglect all the things that are going wrong with Bihar at this time..
as for writing the blogs in Hindi, I have posted a link on your blog..

Cheers !
Siddharth

if the humor was confined to occasional jokes, i think i would have been fine...but the word bihari has today become synonymous with corruption and dishonest behaviour...ppl don't realize that biharis are perhaps the most friendly guys in this country...will do anything for a proper bhaat :D...and yet all that gets projected is the scams and crime...i think if educated biharis like us don't cringe at the sound of the word bihari and try to correct this notion in our own small ways, it would go a long way in improving the public image of bihar

ps: cud u plz tell me how to write the blog in hindi, i was trying it today, changed the language settings but cudn't see the hindi in the compose mode:(...

2005-10-02T22:51:54.743+05:30

Surely, u 2 'bihari's (Modi and u)are giving it a shape of war-cry. Come on, u urself have pointed out that, it is a general behavior of Indians to make fun of each other. So what's the big deal? Everybody are proud to be a member of his locality...and everybody SHOULD be too. So what's the point in making such poignant blogs, that too in succession?

Hey Sid, great post. 100 times better than mine, the mark of a perfectionist. You are much more refined and suave, and yes, u rightly said I am an individual, a representative of various groups, do not judge the groups by my misdeeds.
