Very well said Surendra jee

We need not be aggressive but yes we must defend our brothers/sisters by all
means. I would say that we should be "assertive". We should not be hesitant
to celebrate our festivals like "chath" at all. At the same time we should
make all efforts to mix up / assimilate local culture and festivals as well.
Guess most progressive people and we biharis do as well,

As far as, Raj Thakrey and goons are concerned, they are best ignored and
"defended against". This whole series of incidents against biharis is giving
rise to emergence of bihari *sub*nationalism. Which is much needed. However
do not expect most of the well educated and well placed Biharis to
speak-up or stand-up and be counted.

Most of them will just prefer to watch silently over TV or read newspapers
and analyse for few weeks and then move on to their routine life. Some of
the political kind will try to get some mileage out of it (this side or that
side but their end goal is to benefit) . Those whose bread and butter is
affected or those whose life and honor is being threatened will either react
in self-defence or migrate to safer places. However some, especially the
young students will see this as a wake-up call and they will react by their
heart. We need to make sure that the reaction is on right track. We don't
resort to the level of "goondas" on road. We must prepare to defend and
support our people and at the same time, wake-up to the reality that there
is no place like home. We must try to give our best to our current place
(Maharashtra or Delhi or US) but at the same time should also retain our
connections with the homeland and continue to give back to our parent
society(bihar, jharkhand or india).

For almost 2 months i have been hopping from city to city (Patna, Munger,
Rajgir, Nalanda, Tilaiya, Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Mumbai, Pune,
Bangalore, Gurgaon, Delhi). If the socio-economic-political trends as
observed by a non-expert are to go by then we are already on the path of
socio-economic renaissiance. The dark days are over. Bihar is going through
a churn and transformation that will really shake up the world. In the few
weeks that I was in Patna, there were some or other othe trade-expo,
seminar, socio-economic event going on. Patna's calendar was very busy and
so was rest of bihar. National/International level sports events and
positive events going on.

We truly are living in very very interesting times and the outlook is very
positive. These attacks on Biharis are sad but hopefully yet another
incident reflecting the "awakening" of bihari subnationalism. As long as we
were willing to build the roads, work as maids and servants or IT/Management
Coolies then the local "netas" were okay with us. However as soon as we
started displaying some solidarity and display of our cultural heritage then
the world has problems. Very soon the IT and Management "coolies" amongst
us will also start showing their Bihari Identity without any disrespect for
the local identity, the world will start respecting us. The display of
strength of IMA (Indian Medical Association) was one good example. Many more
such "skirmishes" will take place but in the end, we will emerge stronger.

Bihar is the most promising market for talent, mobile, pharma, tourism,
agribusiness, innovation and many other industries. Smart money of Sunil
Mittal, Ambani, Tata, Mahindra and others are already benefiting from the
"market". Bihar-jharkhand is world's fastest growing mobile market, but soon
they will start jumping in many other sectors as well


To sum it up,
a) Let us remain assertive and not be aggressive. Losers like Thakrey will
lose steam soon.
b) Let us see the big picture and remain focussed on rebuilding Bihar2.0 and
giving our best to India and world
c) Bihar is an opportunity for the smart brains to see and insecure
societies/people to feel threatened
d) Let us remain connected to our roots
e) In whichever society we go we need to have strong local networks so that
we remain safe
