You are correct Tass. Most Biharis would very quickly relocate from western countries to non-Bihari cultures like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai. Marathis and many of the fast developing states offer somthing more than just jobs. They provide a fair playing field, and a mild, and critically, a more kinder mindset. This mindset, a more kinder approach to education, work, is somthing that must come first. Education needs t be reformed fast before anyone from the world, forget anywhere else in India, will make a move to Patna and set up the next Wipro, Satyam etc. Nitish Kumar has made fantastic progress with a lot of this, but I see no change to the kinder society, which begins at school. If Bihar can make that 'jump', then thounds of young people return. Thanks, Bala

Yes we need to make drastic changes into the mindset of people living there. World has moved way ahead, but in Bihar, unfortunately, we are still living in stone age. We need to rise up and move forward. What surprises me most is when we Biharis' move out of our own province, we are totally a different breed. Can we not be the same while in Bihar. I am willing to give up Canada as my home and relocate myself back to Bihar, but like many others I would like to be re-assured about basics. Can we collectively try and do something about it. Let us give it a try. Keep the efforts of building Bihar, I am sure we will make a head way soon. Warm wishes, Tass
