What Bihar is to India , India is to the world !

Since long, I had been harping on the relationship between Bihar and India, one as a state and other as a nation , yet very close in features and similar in perception. It has been atleast 8 years since i am brewing this coffee over India and its Vihar, yes Vihar shares the same relation with Bihar as Mumbai is to Bombay.

In ISM I could see the first glimpse of the perception soon to be a conviction ; numerous talented folks from Bihar, more than talent , the hunger for success and knowledge was striking.Indians in foreign universities are known for the same ; their hunger for knowledge, their frugal engineering means and the talent unleashed to the best.The eager for government services and the passion with which they crack it has been oustanding, similar to the numerous Phd's and Scientists pursuits abroad.

Bihar is infamous for the same qualities that India has ; corruption, lack of infrastructure,bad politics, failing systems in healthcare and education. If you wish, you can blame bihar for all the malpractices and so can you think about the whole of India.However there is a silver lining in the nimbus. The gdp of bihar is on a rise; the governance is improving and it has seen one of the highest NRB(non resident biharis) investment in real estate. The education curve's is moving well in the positive slope and the healthcare is improving though on a small scale. Same is true for India. In short, taking cue from tedindia, India is the softpower to the world and Bihar is the softpower to India.

Moving on to people; Indians are known for doing petty jobs on foreign soil and so are Biharis. Undoubtedly the most hardworking, they form a support system to the economy they work for, be it Mumbai or US.Biharis have been the hate victims in almost the same way the racist attacks against Indians have been staged abroad. They have been suffering in the same way the Indians are and yet taking every humiliation in their stride, forgiving and sometimes forgetting the wounds inflicted and yet trying to give their best to the foreign lands.

Yes, both of them have been asked to go back to their lands and there is a movement, a nexus building, where we see more professors from abroad joining Indian companies and Indian Universities, and we also see Biharis coming back to Patna and allied cities to start something new.

 Yes there is a wave of change and it definitely threatens the current equation of "Power" both at International and National levels, with India and Bihar playing the cards nicely.
