Ground Realities

I think that the Bihari NRIs and the NRBs do not have the moral right to comment on the current state of Bihar because I am one them as I ran away from Bihar when I was 6 years old. In fact my parents joined me in my endeavour.

I say this because we have commented, made statements on the poor state of Bihar as if we had not gone away had Bihar been at par with Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra etc.

There are more NRIs from above mentioned states than from Bihar.

Suggestions and comments would be more meaningful from people who live in Bihar and endure the day to day problems and hardships but I seldom see any comment or article from a person in Bihar, but many Biharis do write from Delhi, Mumbai etc.

By posting our comments and arguing among ourselves and having heated debates will not yield any result, take for the case of Mr. Ravi Pandey, he was attacked for showing a direction and people mistook him for a crook.

We consider ourselves as more intelligent than others because we live outside our country and it is a myth which has become a fact that you have to be more intelligent to get a chance to work outside the country.

I would say without any strings attached that all those who have achieved something have achieved it because their knowledge was coupled with resources available but I would consider people living in Bihar and in India to be more intelligent because even with negligible resources they have achieved something which we would never had achieved when we were in India or Bihar.

So there is a saying that "Jiske ghar ho daney, uske bewakoof bhi sayane" (now please do not attack me as I have not intended this saying to all the NRBs and Bihari NRIs).

I know my level of intelligence hence will never preach but will take opportunities to help my people in Bihar with whatever I have and have already started the process and will do it alone rather than putting up before this forum and getting acid attacks.
 

Comments:
This article is written straight from the heart of Sanjay Gupta depicting the hard truth about ground realities.

It is good to listen that you already have started the process of contribution to Bihar and I congratulate you as you have gathered courage to do so. The famous proverbs "No Risk No Game" and "Jo kare sharam uska phoote karam" suggests us to leave aside the fear and shame factors and start playing the game. To hit sixer you have to raise the ball on the sky and risk getting caugh out. To help our people I have to tighten my belt and be ready to play the innings by keeping aside the fear factors that riding on my head because of the murder of my family members, loots and dacoities.

It will be a great help if we disclose our activities after the successful implementations, so that rest of us will learn the lesson, get confidence and initiate the process. - Tarakeswar Dubey - Feb. 5, 2006
