Image Makeover Needed

I have been staying out of Patna since 8 years and have been to Delhi and presently in Bhubaneshwar. One thing that really amuses me wherever I go is the way people react, when I say I am from Bihar. Being so rich in history and culture, I think it is really a pity that Bihar gets such a treatment. On a personal level, I think the Bihari Diaspora faces this problem everywhere and everyone would be trying on his or her part to change the shoddy image of Bihar. It would really be helpful if the government intervenes for such brand building. We can have more promotions on the tourist front. Besides, its high time that those living in there are motivated. We do not lack in resources, nor are we lacking in intelligentsia. It just requires a bit of synchronization and an initiative in this regard should be taken vigorously by the government. Merely opening IIT and AIIMS will not help, when the primary education is lacking much. If basic amenities are provided to those lacking them, I think that will be the rise of a new sun. If a state like Orissa can have as much as 40 engineering institutes, why can't we? It's just time to look into our own infirmities and remove them so that the world sees the better of us. Lets respect each other so that nobody in the world can disrespect us.
