This is the first mail I m writing to this Forum , so lemme introduce myself. My Name is Jai Shankar Tarun, hail from Bhaglapur and Presently Working in South Africa for my Company in Bangalore.
I thank Mr Vagish for updating me with latest articles.
Now I want to share one thing from you all , Those who did their engineering from Bihar must be familiar by this. In all engineering college, When you step in the first day, you will be asked by you senior, your phylum, means your caste and then you will be send to respective groups(Same caste) seniors who will be responsible to rag you and Welcome you in the group. All your activities will be confined to that group. I felt so ashamed at that moment but Cant do anyting. Even the mess was devided into phylums.......so called forward and backward casts had their seperate mess.
The Point I m trying to make here is even If I felt bad, but I could do nothing, These things has been planted so deep into our society that it cannot be thrown out in a day or a year........it has taken around 18 years to come to the point it is and now it can be rooted out, only by continuous effort and will take time........also these things will only be eliminated by the development Of Bihar.........
As a matter of fact We cannot do anything by sitting here and doing a chintan on net...BUT...this is the max we can do, We cannot expect a guy to leave his job and go to bihar, to participate in reform
but we can certainly contribute to this reform by speading the knowledge and information which can guide to the success.

I appreciate the step taken by Vageesh jee.
Kindly Correct me If I m wrong.
Regards

It will be good to see G. Mishra's paper before commenting on WB paper...,u
should have sent that first..i suppose....,
Being Bihari, by birth and uprbignig, my only suggestion will be not to be
unncessarily defensive, as it aqppears in the tone of this mail,instead of
being pro-active....we can not change people's perceptions forcibly by
writing emails sitting in Delhi...does it matter to our efforts to what WB
writes....don't we know the reality enough to make interventions......why
should it be WB to bring out all our IMB brand of Intel-inside.... do we
not want to dance to the tune that they set for us...we have been doing for
deacdes...we must stop or influence them, instead of keep reacting to
pro-gloablization leader like WB....like an empty arm chair Bihari
intellectuals...sitting in Delhi and making no real difference to the real
situation there.....except for a tiny initiatives to make no real
difference.... otherwise, Biharis staying there are brave enough to make
differnce to their lives...they do not need us , unless we do something to
compliment their efforts....instead of reacting to situations that no one
cares for... people do care for in long term what we do...not what we talk
and email.... let us do some more chintan before we keep shooting emails to
fill up our own gaps in action....

Subject: [biharchintan] World Bank Report on Development Strategy for Bihar
Friends,
The World Bank has come up with a paper named "Bihar : Towards a
Development
Strategy". An article by Girish Mishra in Jansatta, dated 22 June 2005
gives
a critique of the position taken by the world Bank. I am trying to send the
article by Girish Mishra also soon.
However, I am sending the link to the site and a brief summary as given in
the report. I am trying to put the report on the Bihar Chintan E group (
Yahoo group also since it is a big file).

"The challenge of development in Bihar is enormous due to persistent
poverty, complex social stratification, unsatisfactory infrastrucre and
weak
governance; these problems are well know but not well understood. The
people
of Bihar - civil society, businessmen, government officials, farmes, and
politicians - also struggle against an image problem that is deeply
damaging
to Bihar's growth prospects. An effort is needed to change this perception,
and to search for real solutions and strategies to meets Bihar's
development
challenge.
The main mesage of this report is one of hope. There are many success
stories not well known outside Bihar that demonstrate it strong potential,
and could in fact provide lessons for other regions. A boost to economic
growth, improved social indicators, and poverty reduction will require a
multi-dimensional development strategy that builds on Bihar's successes and
draws on the underlying resilience and strengths of its people."
