PRESIDINGEARTHLY Ji, thank you so much for your kind words. I will certainly treasure your love. Contd..................... We need culture: I have already mentioned that in ancient time Bihar and UP had always been economically superior over any other Indian states. Bihar and UP contributes immensely to make India proud of her history. When India got freedom in 1947, Bihar was the richest state. However, today Bihar is the poorest and most lawless among Indian states. Once it was an example of civilization but today it is the most uncivilized state. What turned this mighty land to a land of shame? Have you heard of Shekhar Suman’s joke? He is Bihari himself: Let me tell you his joke in my version. One night in Tihar Jail (Delhi) Natwarlaal’s great grandpa appeared in his dream. He told to Natwar that he had been living in Hell because he had crush on Queen Victoria and whispered his phone number in Natwar's ear. Natwar thought it was just a dream, but again he thought there was nothing wrong to try a phone call. He asked operator to dial the number and got connected. The phone bill was charged as STD call. He continue calling his great grandpa at least once in a month. After being free from Tihar Jail, Natwar went to Bihar to Visit his लङ्गुठिया यार, Mr. Supari Yadav. When he called his grandpa to hell from Bihar, the PCO charged him local call. He became happy because he thought the PCO operator got cheated. Next time he tried from next PCO and again got charged the price of local call. He thought there must be something wrong and remind to the operator whether it was a STD call. PCO operator said there was nothing confusion. Then he went to Delhi Supreme Court and filed a case against Indian Government saying that was an injustice. The Supreme Court judge gave his discussion against Natwarlal and said: “Bihar to Hell is Local call because Bihar is in Hell” This was just a joke but in reality the condition of Bihar is worse then you can think of. When I was in India my friends didn't let me go alone to Bihar. It is very infamous and unpopular despite being a wonderful place. What could be a possible reason? Can wealth be the possible reason? I doubt it because Bihar is a fertile land; it can at least be self sufficient in food. Can caste system be the cause? It can not be the cause but it can be a cause and a tiny one. It is because caste system is everywhere in India. Despite caste system other states have progressed. Can culture be the cause? I can definitely say it is culture which is the cause of downfall of Bihar and Biharis. I will elaborate this point in my upcoming postings.
