Bihari: An Identity

 Bihari : Why An Obscenity, Not Identity?

Here goes a story about a state which used to be a great cultural and political heritage. A state currently struggling for its lost identity due to lack of infrastructural and socioeconomic development as compared to other Indian states.


Yes here I am talking about a complication less discussed but constantly experienced by us.

The chauvinism of being a BIHAR.

 When we think of Bihar, your brain functions and shows you an image of an uncivilized, uneducated, backward class and criminal minded society setup. Whereas with a very clear voice I proclaim you that Bihar is way ahead of what your mental setup and detrimental opinion. Every Bihari has to accept the social abuse disregarding of his level of education, class of employment and place of residence wherever in the country.


Biharis are unnecessarily criticised to be the main reason of all the problems. And no state has ever done any sort of justice with the deserved treatment to Biharis.

Bihari pride has become a malediction upon the youths engaged in the nation building sectors of the country.
The innumerable number of abuses and discrimination based on evident pattern and feeling of subordination has become a daily dose for any youth present in every corner of this country.

It is not just a particular city or state rather it has been embedded deep down into the mind of my fellow Indians. Biharis deserves such abusive treatment because of the mindset created.

Due to the lack of employment and industries in the state, Biharis are forced to move towards the big cities. Bihar is the greatest exporter of labourers to the other states and due to this sort of migration Biharis are dominant in every sector.
It’s high time that we feel the pain of a common Bihari who is working in any employment sector, studying in any college and doing any kind of work to be treated the way they are, as being a Bihari is there biggest crime on this earth.

We need to recognize the predicament of such prejudicial mindsets as it is turning into ethnocentrism.
It is very easy to say treat others as you want to be treated. But when it comes to reality no commoner would ever tolerate being mocked on terms of their psychology, or state. This has been a constant burden which every Bihari has to incur without any complaints.
  It is beyond imagination what I feels when we are called in a sarcastic tone, he’s Bihari.

Why don’t we remember Biharis by their courage to sell their property to educate their children or by their labour to crack hardest exams in India like UPSC, GATE and IIT, by their sharp minds to become great officers and engineers and last but not the least, by their polite nature?

Categorization of anyone from any part of the country is a threat to solidarity of India.

And despite of every other fact, I want to ask you just one question;
If Gujrat is for Guajrati, Bihar is for Biharis, then India is for whom?

Dear 16 year old Prachi, Life is hard. I know but you are going to be okay. It’s time to adapt a new lifestyle one that is devoted to positivity. Remember that you are in full control of your thoughts and emotions. Some things are just meant to happen, but not meant to be. Continue looking for new things to do that’ll take you so far. I wish you had been nicer to your parents. Of course they didn’t understand you (whose parents understand them?) but they did care about you, even though they didn’t know how to show it. Just think for once how life would have been hard for them too. They love you more than any boy could ever love you. And there is no way you could ever repay them for what they do for you. These next few years are going to be hard. Harder than you can even imagine right now. As much as you want to hold your breath and close your eyes, keep them open and breathe. While this is the scariest time in your life, and will probably always be, feel it all. Witness ...

DEPRESSION AND SOCIETY

  According to WHO 800,000 people die of suicide every year. That equates to one every 40 seconds. A person’s mind has a lot to do with it. We go for our body check-ups very often. But what about our minds? What about mental health? Do we even bother to care for our minds? Why mental health is yet not a priority for any Indian? “Why talking about mental health is still a taboo in this great country of ours?”   When living with depression, we feel the need to keep distance from other people. We may also feel that we don’t have anyone to talk to. And we end up spending time worrying about how to cope up with it alone. Depression can cause many people to feel lonely. It results in people withdrawing from relationships and new interactions as they don’t have power to maintain them. This withdrawal can then sustain the thought of worthlessness and hopelessness and leads in worsening of the situation. Sadness, anxiety, guilt, self-loathing just ...

Mental health of a PCOD patient

Hormones are incredible! They do so much good in our body as well as they can create a huge chaos in our life as well. In 2019, I was officially diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease commonly known as PCOD. It is a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edge. My periods have been irregular and painful since the beginning. And when I went to the doctor she told me about the condition. It was a great shock to me as I came to know that one out of 5 women is suffering from this very disease. She asked me to get my ultrasound done, and VOILA! The disease wasn't the bad news, the bad news is that there is no cure to this. My mind wasn't ready to accept this piece of information. I was gaining weight and losing my hairs. Isn't it supposed to be opposite in terms of the definition of the standard set by society? Life became a struggle with irregular periods, obesity, cysts, hair loss and depression. And by far I have experienced, th...
