Nowadays, Tamil Nadu, a state in south India, is in the media limelight for the wrong reasons. As per the news circulated in the Indian press, multiple social media channels, YouTube, and other web platforms, local workers in Tamilnadu are attacking Hindi-speaking professionals and forcing them to leave the state as soon as possible. 50 Bihari workers have been killed by hooligans in Tamil Nadu so far. In addition, videos of violence and crime against Bihari migrant workers are creating panic among people.
As a result, many Bihari migrant workers have already left Tamilnadu and are not planning to return to the workspace anytime soon. But the sad thing is that the Tamilnadu government, the Bihar government, the police administration in two states, the central government, self-proclaimed media organizations, and political leaders are dismissing the occurrence of crime against Bihari migrants and Hindi-speaking workers in Tamilnadu, and they have collectively regarded the related news as fake propaganda.
Tejasvi Yadav, the deputy CM of Bihar, has declared such incidents as fake narratives being run by the BJP and said there was no crime against Bihari migrant workers in Tamilnadu. However, the attack on Bihari migrant workers in India is not happening for the first time. They have been threshed in states such as Assam, Maharashtra, Delhi, Punjab, Jharkhand, etc. So why are Bihari migrant workers being attacked in different parts of the country?
Why are there no good jobs or employment opportunities for the local working population in Bihar? What have leaders been doing to create employment opportunities in the state? Why don't ordinary people in Bihar force the state leadership to cultivate development? Why is development not an issue for the Bihari public? Let's discuss all the problems.
A Few Words About Why Bihar Is A Backward State In India
Bihar is a poor state in East India. Approximately ten crore people live here, most engaged in traditional occupations and business areas. Right from India's independence in 1947 from the British, Bihar has been a poor state due to multiple reasons such as political unwillingness for the region's development, lack of investment from major industries, the dismal condition of infrastructure facilities, political instability, the negative attitude of the local population, etc. The 15 years of rule by the Rashtriya Janata Dal were quite damaging for Bihar. Former Chief Minister Lalu Yadav and his gang destroyed Bihar entirely and made it a laughing stock in the eyes of the rest of the Indians and foreigners.
Unfortunately, the state's development is not an issue for most Bihari voters. They sincerely believe in casteism and give their votes to candidates belonging to their caste without considering their qualifications. Due to caste-based politics, even the most uneducated and dumb people become politicians, and they don't care about the well-being of their constituencies.
You will be surprised to know that the ordinary people in Bihar never pressured their representatives to bring development to their areas. Lack of development is not an issue for 99% of the people in Bihar. Lalu Prasad Yadav destroyed Bihar and was involved in large-scale corruption. But even today, he enjoys support from the common public. Even the current CM of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, failed to cultivate development in the state. His only goal is to remain in power by switching alliances as required.
Important Statistics-
More than 50% of all families in Bihar have sent their members to other states for jobs and employment opportunities.
After Uttar Pradesh, Bihar contributes around 19% of the entire labor workforce in India,
90% of all Bihari migrants are engaged in semi-skilled or unskilled occupations. Only 10% of Bihar workers occupy a higher position in companies and business organizations in India and abroad.
50% of families in Bihar are dependent on money sent by their relatives for their livelihood. That is why Bihar is often called a money-order economy.
Approximately two crore Bihari people are migrants who contribute to the development of other states by providing affordable professional services to companies in business organizations.
Bihar Has No Job And Employment Opportunities For Its Population.
Unfortunately, Bihar is an agriculture-based state where companies and business organizations don't want to set up their units because of multiple reasons, such as the poor condition of the infrastructure, the high crime rate, the hooliganism of local political parties, frequent power cuts, anti-development sentiment in the general public, etc. The state government has no policy for industrial development and providing jobs to its people.
There is no special economic zone in Bihar. That is why 90% of all Bihari students migrate to other states for jobs and employment after completing their studies. You can see Bihari migrants in almost all states of India. It is safe to say that Bihar is a labor-producing state in India.
Why Does The Rest of India Hate Bihari Migrants?
The outward migration from Bihar to the rest of India continues to increase, creating jobs and employment issues for the local population in different states. Moreover, Bihari migrants are so desperate for jobs that they are ready to provide professional services to companies and business organizations at lower prices.
Companies usually avoid hiring working professionals from other states that demand higher wages and other benefits for their professional services because of the availability of a cheap Bihari workforce. They are famous for offering high-quality assistance with perfect execution and honesty.
People from other states hate Bihari working professionals because of their inability to compete. However, working professionals from Bihar are contributing to the development of the economies of different states in India.
Where Are Law Enforcement Agencies And The Federal Government?
Per the Indian constitution, Indians can live and work in any state. But it sounds good only on paper. On the ground, people in other states hate people from Bihar and consider them second-class citizens. While living in New Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon, Jaipur, Chandigarh, and Mohali, I encountered discrimination from the rest of the Indians. Bihari migraine workers have been thrashed in many states. But the sad reality is that the law enforcement agencies and the central government mostly did nothing. They just become mute onlookers, which is unfortunate for a democratic country like India that aspires to become the world superpower.
It's The Right Time To Develop Bihar!
It's the right time for Bihari people to come together on one page and ask straightforward questions to Bihari politicians about the development of the state. All those politicians who refuse to listen to our valid concerns and questions must be dragged out of their homes and killed in broad daylight. All properties and black money belonging to corrupt Bihari politicians must be confiscated, and they must be jailed for life with no parole. They need to face the music on this issue and must be grilled. Only then will Bihar develop like any other normal state.
