Bhanja Whichever you talk, you come across as a Bihar hater. So if a Bihari works hard, it is his necessity, not his nature. If he is poor........... ( Posted by Pataniya Babu on Sunday , October 22, 2006 at 23:42 )

Mr.Pataniya Babu responded.....
So India's federal character allows anyone to use Bihar as an epithet. Biharis should lie supine and accept the bile in the name of 'federalism'. He should not complain. Having been forced to give up his language and culture and become a Hindi speaking state, he should now let the Bhanjas and Sardesais of the world keep cursing him.If he protests, he becomes 'seemingly' educated. Why? Because he is quesitoning the divine right of Bhanja to kick him. Bihari is the poorest - period. Right?Just for the record, read 'Integration of Indian States' by VP Menon to read in detail how Bihar was among the best administered states and how it contributed to India's federalism. This is in addition to the Appleby report of 1958.

My reply......
Dear Mr.Pataniya Babu,
Thank you again for your critical appreciation of my response.However,"Logic has the typicality of going into 'A Never-Ending' spree" ! You can 'win an argument' but never a 'heart'!
Reference of Mr.Menon's book and the referred report of 1958 by you, I am glad, justified my assessing how 'educated,cultured and well-read' you are. But I'm dismayed, how you missed my saying "Both of us(perhaps) are cursed, to be travellers of the 'same boat'."
I am neither a blind-supporter of Mr.Sardesai nor am a Maharashtrian. I am an ardent lover of our country’s 'Unity In Diversity' that the Globe 'Crowns' it to be. Bihar's cultural riches and it's role in the 1942-Quit-India-Movement and in India’s freedom-struggle, adores the pages of history.
Bihar is not a State only of yours but an Integral part of our India. So my heart always bleeds(I had mentioned earlier), when I see people(be they from any state) forced to flee their beloved, birth-State, 'poverty-stricken'.
Bihar wanted change for 'better-governance', and your CM as been rated as the best, By this CNN-IBN !!!
India shall be 'Richer', if it's 'Economic-Capital', Bihar and every State, all are 'Richer'.
Love !!!
