Laloo Prasad Yadav once during an interview when asked about the need for better roads and computer technology in Bihar sarcastically remarked ; BIHAR MEY GARIB LOG HAI , BAILGAADI PEY CHALTA HAI , ROAD AUR COMPUTER KA KYA KAREGA.
In his just 10-12 years of rule he and his wife turned Bihar into a jungle. All the skilled and educated men and women had to migrate elsewhere in search of jobs and for better education, because Bihar neither could give them Jobs nor the much needed modern education and skills.
The elections do take place in Bihar, Govts are BEING FORMED, which may be rated as better than what Laloo provided but bringing back the talent and taking Bihar out of that vicious circle of mismanagement has been proving to be an uphill task, because the duo LALOO and his kins spoiled the whole environment and its no more conducive for growth.
West Bengal also, it appears prima facie may turn into another Bihar over a period of time, if corrective measures are not taken. The Best brains and skilled people of Bengal are already migrating to other parts of the country and are contributing immensely to the growth of other states economy.
Despite being at strategic entry point for markets in Southeast Asia and also for entire North East India, it has not been able to realize its full potential because perhaps of its myopic Political Leadership which remains mired in petty politics.
The demand to put a stop to this communal hatred is growing day by day. But the moot question is how can this end? It is surprising that a land that has produced great apostles of peace; has been unable to find a solution to this problem? Is it really such a complex problem?

The BBC reported that the ongoing protest by Indian farmers was debated in British Parliament. Several Labour, Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party MPs on Monday expressed concern over the safety of protesters and the status of press freedom in India. And urged that UK officials address these concerns with India when Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits the country, which is expected later this year.
One minsiter said ; Whilst this is an exciting time for the UK-India partnership, it does not hinder us from raising difficult issues,” adding that “candid discussions” on a range of issues will form part of Boris Johnson’s planned visit to India in the coming months.
Is CAA Really Discriminatory?
Is n’t CAA discriminatory? Why haven’t muslims been included in this ?. Is it therefore not against the basic principles of our constitution ?
Many critics of CAA raise this question, deliberately avoiding to answer as to why so many previous PMs and even Bapu himself spoke about providing succor to these beleaguered people, left behind in Pakistan.
If the primary reason for calling this discriminatory is to target Modi then there is no cure for that and I really express my inability to satisfy their urge for knowledge.
However for those who genuinely feel that it is unjust and biased against Muslims and have an open mind, then I can surely make an attempt to answer their query.
