"The absence of sub-nationalism acted as a stumbling block in the economic development of Bihar. Any movemenit to preserve the regionial market as an exclusive preserve of the nascent Bihari bourgeoisie could not take off. Outside business and industrial interests were/are well entrenched in the state's economy."

The business associations that were formed in Bihar served the interests of settler capitalists at the expense of Bihari interests under the banner of nationalism. 7/

"Because of its elitist character, Bengal remained more or less indifferent to the general problems of Bihar." "Bengal successfully fought against the monstrous oppression of Indigo planters in the 19th century. But this movement' did not extend to Bihar for nearly half a century untill Gandhi from distant Gujarat to launch his crusade against the indigo planters in Champaran." 6/

"Bihar was reduced to a transit route long before the advent of British rule, further ptishing it to economic backwardnes." Sachchidananda Sinha, eulogised "local patriotism". The Beharee, a noted joumal of Bihar, adopted the motto "we are B'eharee first and Indian afterwards". 5/

Britishers played a key role in formation of caste based org. Knyvett, the superintendent of police, Patna, was instrumental for the caste movement. "With the passage of time, other communities, like Bhumihars, Rajputs, Yadavas and others, formed their sectarian organisation." "These institutions failed to gene rate a feeling of cross-caste oneness and strained social relationship among people of Bihar." 4/

"Bihar was immensely influenced, negatively, by the revivalist- move ment of Arya Samaj. This movement found some following among backward castes acted more as a vehicle of conservatism rather than of regeneration." 3/

"The absence of sub-nationalism. has acted as a stumbling block in the economic development of Bihar. No movement to preserve the regional market as an exclusive preserte of the nascent Bihari bourgeoise too off and outside busaness and industrial interests have got entrenched in the state's economy." 2/

The replies and QTs under this post only reinforced that only a few districts (not more than 3) can rightly be categorised as purely Maithili-speaking regions of Bihar, and that there are many districts whose populations speak mixed languages or dialects, which means that the demand for a so-called Mithila state is based only on a frustrated minority of Maithil region and is therefore unreasonable.

In Jadunath Sarkar’s words: 'they(Marathas) reaped as they had sown in the past (Looted, plundered and r@ped women throughout the country) by pillaging the peasants of these tracts & extorting ransom from them.' While retreating from Panipat, Marathas were robbed & lynched by the common peasantry (& even women) to the point of being stripped naked. When you realise there’s a reason why entire North India rejoiced at the defeat of Marathas in Panipat. The Rajputs refused to fight by their side. The Naga Gosain Sadhus fought against them. The Hindu Jats, Gujjars & Ahirs looted the fleeing Maratha survivors after the battle of Panipat.

IE knows who holds the actual power in Bihar now. So, instead of venting your frustration on Indian Express, take a moment to realise that you should be angry with BJP/RSS, not with a newspaper.
