Indeed this is the time when we should think about our honor, our glorious past, our history, our blood and sweat which has been flowing since time eternal in shaping the glory of this country. Our laborers have worked hard in the fields of Punjab to bring the green revolution, our construction workers have built mega cities, our officers have supported the government machineries across India and if we talk of freedom movement or even the JP movement to stir up the country’s sleeping conscience, we have done enough to be entitled for some respect. But what we have got in return? We should really think about this seriously.
What we have got in Return is “Insult, Injustice and Ill treatment”. We are ridiculed and insulted across the country for we stay poor, ignorant and uneducated. But this is exactly the gift the Nation which we have served with our blood and sweat has given us. This is how a Delhi Chief Minister dares to have a devious plan to drive out the poor Biharis to make the city look beautiful. We are reduced to toilet paper status of “Use and Throw”. This is how the MNS/Shiv Sena decides to beat up the poor students on Mumbai Railway Stations for the fault that they wanted to use their intellect to make a future in this country which they call their own. This is how poor Bihari taxi drivers, pan shop walla, sabji walla was beaten up when Marathi and only Marathi became the words of honor for Raj Thackeray.
Not a single mega city, not a single Industry worth mentioning, not a single educational institution worth enrolling into. A dilapidated ruin of our glorious past asks you a simple question, is this all we deserved to be a part of this country? And if this is the treatment or the price of being a Bihari in India, can we ever overlook this horrible reality to claim Nationalistic sentiments or sing the praise of Mother India which is proving to be a step mother. How can we ignore the facts that in last 60 years of Independence we are standing at the same place with now even less freedom in this country. How can we ignore that it hurts us that we are not being treated equally what this constitution of this Nation promised? Akhanda Bharat was not a Maharashtrian dream. It was a Bihari dream with King Ashoka of Pataliputra being the dreamer. We have lived upto this dream with our integrity and faith in India the mother. But we must wake up to the reality as well. The reality is we are being cornered in our own so called country. We are facing the burden of misdeeds of the leaders we have elected in good faith and who have cheated us, we are facing the burden of the Prime Ministers who have forgotten us, we are facing the burden of our own dead conscience which allows us to be ridiculed and that is why although we have not forgotten the dream, we must also not forget the reality.
The solution:
1. Elect only the regional party leaders who are good and can speak in a united voice when it comes to defending Bihar not by instinct but by knowledge. Lets elect those who are not just offering promises but also delivering. In the absence of it you should yourself come forward. Start a party, run independent but do your bit.
2. Never ever elect national parties as they have different agendas in different part of states. The
Congress and BJP both got aligned with MNS and Shiv Sena respectively. How can you believe a party which speaks in different tones in different geographical area.
3. Work for Bihar in your whatever little way.
May the glory of Bihar again come back with its able sons and daughters.
Jai Bihar! Jai Ashok.
