Why Bihar, the land of Buddha is suffering | Bihar Articles

In today’s world, countries witnessing ancient culture and civilizations have relatively slow or less progressive economies. Living proof include (with the exception of Rome and Greece, being within the “European Economic zone”) China, Mesoamerica, Egypt, India and Mesopotamia. In the past, these countries were the frontiers of Medicine, Mathematics, science and trade. People from far and wide would come to witness these thriving countries. As time progressed new “superpowers” came into being, these countries lost its importance.

Taking this theory into account, Bihar being the cradle of India civilization Bihar lies aloof from the rest of India. Not because the people of Bihar are lazy but they have been misled.

A series of politicians appeared in the scene responsible for creating a “culture of crime” to maintain its prowess over the people of Bihar. They have been misled to believe that the leaders are the messiah who can deliver them from evil clutches of certain elements in Bihar. Various types of forces exist in Bihar from the extreme political left such as the banned “The Maoist Communist Centre” to organizations such as armed private armies of rich landlords. The responsibility lies totally on the government of Bihar from preventing the rise of such organizations. These organizations actually led to serve their purpose in creating fear in certain sections of the people based on caste and religion. Till now neither the people’s fate changed nor did of Bihar. Today as the rest of India enters the economic boom, Bihar lies isolated. Many of Bihar’s educated elite have left to look for better opportunities to other parts of India sometimes braving hostility. Not to mention the fate of poor Biharis outside Bihar.
