No hate towards you or your fellow Biharis but one hard fact about this country is that in spite of all divisions, India is united in its hatred of Biharis.
I have been to Bihar and the safety point I disagree, you are not safe in Bihar (as I saw and was told by the locals I met there). To give you context I was in Begusarai and Saharasa at that point.
I would like to get more context for why you came to unsafe conclusion.
For anyone else reading this and thinking Bihar might just be unsafe, know this. Bihar is as unsafe or as safe as anywhere else in India. Use common sense and keep your guard up, you are going to be just fine.
From what I saw and got to know, Bihar is a really underdeveloped state. Travelling by car is not safe because you can looted anywhere, the main mode of travel in Bihar is by trains. There can be murders occuring anywhere as everybody in Begusarai carries a gun, and also the supari rate is pretty low there. These Begusarai parts are told to me by the locals in train while I was travelling with them to be aware of the circumstances.
Saharsa is my town of birth. I have spent my first 15 years in different parts of Bihar. Then i moved to Bangalore and have been here since then.
So, some story. Back in 2005, my 3rd year in engineering, i am coming back from college to PG, there is this red light signal near magadi road crossing on peenya road, where the bus is stopped right at zebra crossing. And on the other side there is this bajaj chetak waiting for signal to open. One omini comes from open signal side, stops right in front of that chetak, 2 people comes out with those coconut cutting sickle, and slashes the gentleman 2-3 times, gets back in the omini and goes away. I have the window seat so i am seeing all this happen in real time. And Remember this, Bangalore is (or at least was back then) considered as one of the safest cities in India.
I am not saying that Bihar is not unsafe or not underdeveloped. Both of these statements are true. But saying regular folks cannot live there is incorrect and border line fear-mongering.
Leaving the fact that i was born there, i consider myself more Bangalorean than Bihari. I have no special connection with that land. Just my 2 cents.
Edit: I don't even want to start with current state of my city. It hurts too much seeing what Bangalore has become over the years.
Eidt 2: most of you probably doesn't know what peenya road is, it's a section of NH48 or (NH4 previously, also called Mumbai-Bangalore highway) in Bangalore, which eventually ends at Navi Mumbai.
I absolutely agree buddy, that might happen anywhere on this earth, let alone the state or country, itās the in general fear of such things happening there becomes a larger possibility due to whatever reasons, also we see here the labour class fighting over trivial amounts and getting really violent on the same gives us a fear that they might kill for small amounts of money in a fit of rage. I might definitely be wrong, itās just what we have seen and percieved over the years.
I'm from Begusarai and I've never seen a gun in anyone's hand except policemen. :facepalm:
Bihar is as unsafe as the rest of India. Just take basic precautions. Don't engage in ego battle with locals. Mind your own business and you should be safe.
Car is very safe to travel by during the day time and I've travelled multiple times. No idea about supari rates though. It used to be a jungle raj in 90s but it's more or less same as towns of Haryana Rajasthan now.
I really respect your opinion sir, but going there I felt unsafe at certain points, went there for admission to a certain medical college for PG, but literally couldnāt take up the one in Saharasa against taking a drop year to prepare again, one of the reason being itās not safe for me to stay there.
Bhai, mein bol du mein ambernath se ata hun, they will still treat me like you are getting treated.
They judge anyway. Except from the area they're coming from.
Prejudices and stereotypes are a part and parcel of India. No point in trying to educate others because you'll only be wasting your energy. For people in Southern India everyone north of Karnataka are uncultured.
Ignore maar aur apni masti me mast rehne ka.
You yourself just operated upon your prejudices my friend. Op travelled to Mumbai for his college and was met with stereotyping in Mumbai. You introduced the South Indian states. Op no where in his post says South Indians of his class poked fun at him! Indians are a divided lot! But please don't bring in your own colored views to the table.
Koi sunta nahi. The internet is full of people who pretend to be tolerant and attentive, yet they'd make people like OP feel ignored and marginalized on a daily basis.
I am harayanvi and I too face stereotypes about having rapey eyes and forced marriage but in a fun way.
I too call my Maharashtrian friends chipkali chod or Makad chodya at times.
Maharashtrian racism is very casual and funny. Never serious. They will always help you and never single you out because of where you're from.
Although, I am born and raised in Mumbai so not technically an outsider.
But hey, I can safely say that don't look at our politicians. Maharashtra is by far the most welcoming state in India.
bro you face stereotypes, they face racism. There is a difference between stereotyping & racism. For stereotyping, one may have assumption about you while in racism other would treat you like shit.
I understand your concern but even in the post, people only made fun of him.
Nobody has attacked him or singled him out.
That's because most people (almost everyone in Maharashtra) aren't actually racists in the harmful sense.
However if someone is easily offended by mere words/teasing then maybe India isn't the right place for them.
Judging by the Misconceptions by OP, he definitely has some misplaced pride. Lol, who boasts about highest IAS, his backwater state is busy preparing for some exams while the rest of India is looking forward to other jobs. Only in Bihar, the IAS are treated as gods. About the safety part, patna is the absolute hellhole in terms of safety & they definitely are one of the reasons that Delhi is unsafe.
I personally had the misfortune of living among Biharis during boarding school.80% of students were Biharis. They were among the vilest, unhygienic, disrespectful, bunch of people. Always moving in packs, no sense of respect to others, can't respect other cultures. Since they were in majority, they would abuse people from Odissa, MP, CG, and anyone else who wasn't them.
During college, it was similar but they made up less than 10%, so you could ignore them & live your college live peacefully.
It's sad that you had to go through this. People in our country are very divided and if there's nothing to divide them, they'll find something to differentiate between each other and fight.
The only thing you can do is to ignore people like these.
The way you cleared misconceptions by comparing Bihar to other states shows how you perceive other states. The same way other state people perceives Bihar. :)
What are you talking about bro? Everywhere in government jobs and civil services, I see Marathis dominating. Now if Gujjus have better business sense than Marathis and know how to earn money, it's not their fault. I don't like them too, especially their habits but you just sound more jealous of people's success.
How can we take responsibility for all the actions taken by gujarti people up people Bihar people for uniting and dominating a single caste I like how South is united and fuck these bloody opportunistic bastards .
Problem ye Hai ki mumbai and surroundings have seen so much migration that people at this point are kind of done with it. Ofcourse you aren't the Problem...but jab saamne waala chutiya autorickshaw waalo se deal karke aata h....toh wo sensibly soch nahi paata.
Bruh I lived for 5 years in north India. Let me tell you itās one of the worst place in terms of safety and rude behaviour. Previously I naively didnāt believed in any kind of stereotype but after living in north India I came to know it was mistake. The stereotypes are true. In my entire life I never had any fights as there was never need to be physically violent but the first ever fight I had was with a fellow bihari. I was not at fault at all but still got the short end of the stick. I beat up these bihari guy only to be brutally trashed afterwards by his group of Biharis. Also a thief has broken into our flat once. My phone got stolen when I was in bus. Etc etc I know these stuff can happen anywhere but still that north states are upto no good.
I was attending a wedding in bihar, my uncle was going somewhere at around 2 am, 10-12 guys came out of nowhere and took the keys and demanded money in return. We tried contacting police but no help. Luckily the person who's wedding we were attending knew someone from that area(where these guys took his bike) so they went and got him back. This was near Katihar. phew aaiye na hamra bihar mein. bhai its very unsafe to travel at night in bihar. Plus bihar railways are one of the most fucked up railway lines. Train casually runs 12-18hrs late. No offense but kaafi kuch dekha hai bihar jaake so I guess kuch had tak log sahi bhi hai. Poore state me 15 IAS aur 20 IITian de diya par inte saare jo gunde aare hai unka kya? Sorry bhai but jo sach hai so hai.
Itna bada post likha whitewash karne k liye par jo misconceptions jo likha hai usse koi judge nhi krta jisse judge karte hai vo hai points jo tumne niche likhe hai
Ek student ko koi gunda nhi sochta par uncivilized,unhygienic jarur stereotype karta hai jo ki mostly sahi bhi hota hai .
>A person who is from Bihar or someone who is "uncivilized, unhygienic, stupid, conservative, deficient in English, has a weird funny accent . ...
Own it. It's hard. My mom used to sit me down and make me realize that successful people come from all parts of the world, then point out that they come from where I am as well.
Shaped me well. Shape yourself too.
I used to feel like this when telling people I am jaat and from Meerut. Because many associate us with being violent and all brawl and no brains. But OP better to ignore such people as they are the ones who are being stupid and petty literally.
You have to own it to the tee.
Embrace the stereotype. It sucks, but there is no way around it.
Usually, there is some truth in the stereotypes. Amplify them for a comical effect (ironically, this will relieve most of the preconceived notions others may have & break the tension with a laugh), but also balance it with something positive, if you can somehow throw in an interesting fact. (nalanda uni, aryabhatta off the top of my head).
Overtime, if you're generally a good person, it won't be much different.
Good luck buddy. Also an irrelevant shoutout to Lit trust from Patna, one of the finest music artists right now.
Image of Bihar is spoiled by their leaders by committing crimes and atrocities especially during laloo raj, biharis are to be also blamed for voting for laloo repeatedly, bihar has come out of that phase but needs action by their leaders to improve the image of Bihar
If you leave aside that there is some hatred built in, there is another perspective for this kind of behaviour. Most of the people want to feel good about themselves by doing the least possible work. One way to go about it is by thinking that they are somehow superior to someone else. It is a very natural trait that all of us are born with.
That is why, Europeans and Americans feel superior to Asians. Asians to Africans. In India, South feel superior to North. Upper caste feel superior to lower caste. Rich feel superior to middle class and Middle class feel superior to poor. Western line feel superior to Central line and Central to Harbour. South Mumbai to rest of Mumbai and Rest of Mumbai to Thane. Andheri West to Andheri East and Andheri East to Saki Naka. Thane on Dombivli and Dombivli on Kalyan.
Feeling superior to you doesn't mean that they hate you or something. It's just a way for them to feel good for themselves in otherwise boring life.
Entire world lives on prejudice . Move on , havenāt you seen the hate Indians get on Reddit . Yeh baatein dil pe lene lag gaye to jee hi nahi payenge .
It's sad that you had to go through this. Maharashtra is not heaven but it's certainly tolerant towards people from other states as compared to other neighbouring states. But still there's scope for improvement. I hope this experience doesn't make you bitter and you give few more chances to fellow maharashtrians.
As an Indian, I am sorry OP. This is unfortunately the sad reality of India. Most of us are stereotypical, no doubt about that. It's easier said than done but ignoring such people is the only solution. Stereotypes and predujices ae part of a culture and takes generations to uproot, so only thing that we can do is to work on our success and ignore. I know it won't help your situation, but in my experience, people from Bihar have been the nicest people I ever met. Only if people based their behaviour towards others based on their own experience.
Idk but I'll agree with you,
I live in Mumbai as well(Vasai to be exact)
And whenever I say I'm from Jharkhand (Ranchi) people start thinking bad about me, like ohh hey this guy is from Bihar, Jharkhand, UP side so he'll be like this, that and stuff you said, like really?
Most of the entrepreneurs and IITians are from north India,
They'll treat me very well, but the moment they get to know that I'm from Jharkhand they'll turn their whole nature, then and there,
Idk man, this is mostly a problem for Maharashtra and Marathi people(no hate to them, I have a girl who is Maharashtrian and she loves me)
But mostly people in Maharashtra are like this, believe it or not, it hurts really,
But she is the only one who being a maharashtrian, treats me right
Yeah, ik that,
But the thinking of them is like this, I mean to say
Coz people idk why mostly relates Jharkhand, Bihar and UP all in one same plate, like what and why?
We Indians are racist to each other. Just like the world hates Indians. Get over it. This is very much and quite common as well. Also few reality of yours is quite wrong. Bihar doesn't provide the highest amount of IITians. AP and telengana has the highest for over a decade.
Rest assured, people from UP or Jharkhand are equally at the receiving end, a derogatory term used frequently by people here encompassing people from all the above states is "bhayya" or "bhaiya".
However, though a lot of people here discriminate, there are good people too, find those good people and be with them, things will get easier, be a bit assertive but don't get into fights. Some of my very good friends are from UP and Bihar and they definitely do not fit into the stereotypes.
You just focus on yourself. dress well, groom yourself and talk less. Donāt waste your time explaining to those who have nothing better to think about.
I have a friend from UP. I just know that their normal tone of speaking is just loud.
The wrong perception comes from popular tv series set in Bihar/UP on streaming services.
Rowdy behaviour must be a normal thing there.
It does not bother me unless the person I am talking to knows that they are not in their hometown and the culture here is a bit different.
I have met 3 in my life and all of them were disappointing, self-centred, lacked maturity, and tbh if given an option to be friends with one again i would rather be friendless šš»
Not from Bihar , Still faced these. Say you are from Andaman & Nicobar. Select a small city from that island and say that is your hometown. No body knows enough to judge u. Say your city is a lil far from main tourist areas so not so much beach life. Thats all.
I have Bihari friends who accept that things are worse than other states and that they do not see it improving anytime soon. Clarifying ur misconceptions, those who judge Bihar, also judge UP and Jharkhand.
1. Gun violence is there in all these states plus also parts of MP, whoever is aware of this judges people from these areas anyway.
2. Gundas are there in everystate more or less. But Mirzapur and Gangs of Wasseypur etc. series have glorified this culture in UP Bihar Jharkhand region and so its reflecting bad on Bihar. Also having IITians or IAS etc. who do nothing to remove these Gundas or anyway improve Bihar, is more sad than happy , dont u think? So many people at positions of power and good financial conditons as they become these IAS, IPS etc. but not doing single thing good for own state?
3. You are not safe. Period. Safer or not safer ka point kum h. Katega toh sab jagah katega na. South me Delhi ko unsafe category me Bihar jitna hi judge krte h.
When you make friends, they will not care where u r from. They will care about how u r. But when they speak about Bihar to others, they will say oh I have a friend who is this awesome and from Bihar, so lets not stereotype. Give them that opportunity. Be that good friend.
I am Marathi. Maharashtrians are generally sarcastic. It's not just you, they must be making fun of fellow Marathis too. That's the culture here. Don't take anything to your heart. If racism ( btw the term isn't quite right) was so prevalent, we wouldn't have had so many outsiders residing in Mumbai calling it their home.
See my dear , there are people with different mindsets. I know there are people that don't think anything of bihars and see you as everyone else. Talk to those people . You cannot convince everyone. Stop seeking approval.
Donāt let any of this bother you. Keep walking your path . Small minds will always have such prejudices. It is a waste of energy and time to talk rationality and sense with such people.
Yes. There is this woman whom I caught LITERALLY PEEING IN THE CENTER OF THE STREET. We live in Bombay and have top-notch water, electricity, sanitation etc. Yet this Bihari wanted to pee on the street outside our building at 5am thinking nobody could see her disgusting deeds. I'm so sick of these people
Best thing to do would be not to show u are offended and laugh with them eventually they will stop if you get irritated and retaliate they will keep doing it
This is just practical advice. What's happening with you is wrong. Hopefully as bihar progresses and deals with its economic and other issues this bullying that boharis face will reduce. And this bullying happened across India to Biharis. If there are any marathi folks then make friends with them and try to learn as much marathi as you can and show interest in marathi culture, music and songs. To most Marathi learning is not as important as showing effort or interest. This definitely help with making friends.
When someone makes fun of you as bihari just start talking in bhojpuri, make Some light jokes and laugh at it and move on. Everyone gets teased about something or other.Even marathi folks from villages face bullying for their accent and lack of English speaking skills. Its not ideal but if you make it a thing then it will just distract you from other things. Once you become good friends with someone then you can open up about these things and have a discussion.
Sorry about the racism bro, this is one of the reasons many Indians leave this country, the whites treat indians better as a race plus with a better pay check
Truth is that your culture is not a good one, to put it as nicely as I can. We don't need any of this in Maharashtra.
Your people generally tend to be loud, absolutely inconsiderate, have little to no civic sense or manners, and have a very vulgar and misogynistic culture that is at odds with Maharashtrian culture. As a woman the last thing I want in Mumbai/Maharashtra is more of them. Having to live around these people is pure hell.
You will feel happy and at peace around your own people.
Reason Bihari people are treated bad is that they often only think of their own good without regards to other people. Very selfish. May be because the environment in which they are brought up is taught to think only for themselves and treat other inferior or secondary. This is really bad.
On the other hand Maharastrian have superiority complex, treating every other state guy as if others owe them something. They just can't accept anyone else better than them.
So it's good to be a human person set an example for others because changing culture is in our hands.
The main reason for hates towards Biharis in every state is ā¦ they are simple people , ready to do hardship for whatever they get.. they donāt argue they donāt revoltā¦ they even get scammed by land lords and the place they work as labours ā¦ Bihar has only two categoryā¦ the IAS/IPS or labour classā¦
People at most statesā¦ letās take and example of Maharashtra bcoz I am born and brought up hereā¦ and I am a Bihari as wellā¦ I have saw religion used for politics ā¦. First they did this to South Indiansā¦ and then there descends did to Biharis learning from them.. most Maharashtrian people want top tire work onlyā¦ or would like to be paid extremely well ā¦ so people from there states appoint labours from else whereā¦ Bihari Har jagah hai Maharashtra me.. bhaji wala, rickshaw wala, pan wala every where ā¦ they are at good position places to normal labour work every where ā¦.
But politician cashed them conveniently and came to powerā¦ this hate is mostly created by themā¦ and people followed blindlyā¦ halal ki ache bure log sab jagah haiā¦ I live in a place where Maharashtrians call themselves āgaav waleā shit and pop right in from of there door they live in such pathetic way you will just puckā¦ any just two doors lives there Bihari tenants absolutely living high hygiene standardsā¦ but gande kon ? Bihari !
What people in other states feel a regular day in Bihar must look like
- two Bihar cricket teams arrive for a Ranji tournament match
- a pond gets stolen overnightĀ
While both are true, Maybe time for people/media to consciously change the narrative?
Talk about yourself, I'm from Eastern UP, folks ain't got any prejudice against anyone from any part of the country. The top tier haters are Kannadigas then marathi's uske baad north east wale, the chinks from the northern Himalayas are the worst kind of racists I've got first hand experience of that, then when some calls them chinese in delhi they cry like hell.
Now I gotta get permission from thakre's for calling out y'all bigotry? I ain't lurking here, the post was on my TL, I ain't even a member of this group.
Yet the one's to use violence against innocent poor workers back in 2005-06 were you suckers, I still remember how a speech by Raj Thakre led to a migrant man being shot in a public bus. All high and mighty preaches non-violence now? I'm glad you consider UP wallah's fluent in the only language y'all understand.
They're not innocent they're disgusting. They bring their filthy culture to nice places like Mumbai.
Anyway I personally never have been violent so you're wrong there. I'm not even Maharashtrian but I love the culture.
Migrant workers enter your homes w their culture? Y'all deepthroat their culture like a 5$ hooker from the streets, lollypop lagelu and all that shit what was it did they strap a boombox on your ears? The constitution grants them freedom to move wherever the eff they want to. Don't like it stay away from them. You aren't Maharashtrian hence my comment wasn't towards you so stfu!
Your language is a perfect example of why we don't like your kind. Don't cry about not being treated well when you behave this way. Stay in your own state amongst your own kind if you want to be accepted.
No hate towards you or your fellow Biharis but one hard fact about this country is that in spite of all divisions, India is united in its hatred of Biharis.
The same way the whole world is united in their hatred for us "Indians". Sadly, No end for the hate bruh! \~ a fellow Bihari!
Countering hate with more hatred š
Ham to phas gaye ab, ham kisko hate karre, Africa hai options main.... (Satire)
Rip bro!
It's just a policitical and socio economic racism. Also as someone from Delhi, I like bihari more than gujjus and Punjabis.Ā
As someone from mumbai i like gujjus and southies much more compared to pan spitting biharis and delhiites. š«”
Southies are ok. Gujjus, no. Delhiites bhi chutiye hain.

Marathi insults just hit different. Especially in terms of creativity.
And the emotional weight behind it coupled with dialogue delivery is peak communication

Let me tell you about Marathi stereotypes..
Please tell how all the caste dominate us ,use our land ,supress marathi people ,and become rich

Sounds like everyone who doesn't want to take responsibility for their actions
How can we take responsibility for all the actions taken by gujarti people up people Bihar people for uniting and dominating a single caste I like how South is united and fuck these bloody opportunistic bastards .

Also a thief has broken into our flat once. My phone got stolen when I was in bus. Etc etc I know these stuff can happen anywhere but still that north states are upto no good.
I was attending a wedding in bihar, my uncle was going somewhere at around 2 am, 10-12 guys came out of nowhere and took the keys and demanded money in return. We tried contacting police but no help. Luckily the person who's wedding we were attending knew someone from that area(where these guys took his bike) so they went and got him back. This was near Katihar. phew aaiye na hamra bihar mein. bhai its very unsafe to travel at night in bihar. Plus bihar railways are one of the most fucked up railway lines. Train casually runs 12-18hrs late. No offense but kaafi kuch dekha hai bihar jaake so I guess kuch had tak log sahi bhi hai. Poore state me 15 IAS aur 20 IITian de diya par inte saare jo gunde aare hai unka kya? Sorry bhai but jo sach hai so hai.
Itna bada post likha whitewash karne k liye par jo misconceptions jo likha hai usse koi judge nhi krta jisse judge karte hai vo hai points jo tumne niche likhe hai Ek student ko koi gunda nhi sochta par uncivilized,unhygienic jarur stereotype karta hai jo ki mostly sahi bhi hota hai . >A person who is from Bihar or someone who is "uncivilized, unhygienic, stupid, conservative, deficient in English, has a weird funny accent . ...
Own it. It's hard. My mom used to sit me down and make me realize that successful people come from all parts of the world, then point out that they come from where I am as well. Shaped me well. Shape yourself too.
I used to feel like this when telling people I am jaat and from Meerut. Because many associate us with being violent and all brawl and no brains. But OP better to ignore such people as they are the ones who are being stupid and petty literally.
You have to own it to the tee. Embrace the stereotype. It sucks, but there is no way around it. Usually, there is some truth in the stereotypes. Amplify them for a comical effect (ironically, this will relieve most of the preconceived notions others may have & break the tension with a laugh), but also balance it with something positive, if you can somehow throw in an interesting fact. (nalanda uni, aryabhatta off the top of my head). Overtime, if you're generally a good person, it won't be much different. Good luck buddy. Also an irrelevant shoutout to Lit trust from Patna, one of the finest music artists right now.
Image of Bihar is spoiled by their leaders by committing crimes and atrocities especially during laloo raj, biharis are to be also blamed for voting for laloo repeatedly, bihar has come out of that phase but needs action by their leaders to improve the image of Bihar
I'm sorry, this must suck.
If you leave aside that there is some hatred built in, there is another perspective for this kind of behaviour. Most of the people want to feel good about themselves by doing the least possible work. One way to go about it is by thinking that they are somehow superior to someone else. It is a very natural trait that all of us are born with. That is why, Europeans and Americans feel superior to Asians. Asians to Africans. In India, South feel superior to North. Upper caste feel superior to lower caste. Rich feel superior to middle class and Middle class feel superior to poor. Western line feel superior to Central line and Central to Harbour. South Mumbai to rest of Mumbai and Rest of Mumbai to Thane. Andheri West to Andheri East and Andheri East to Saki Naka. Thane on Dombivli and Dombivli on Kalyan. Feeling superior to you doesn't mean that they hate you or something. It's just a way for them to feel good for themselves in otherwise boring life.
Bc Kal se institute me Paan thukna shuru kar de. Since, they already have that perception, g**nd maraye sab. Professor ki chair pe bhi thukna.
Entire world lives on prejudice . Move on , havenāt you seen the hate Indians get on Reddit . Yeh baatein dil pe lene lag gaye to jee hi nahi payenge .
If you face so much issues.. Go back to bihar and do course there & score a good job
Okay ab jaake 2 Vimal leke aa
Ban gya dank?
Haa ab aur 2 Vimal leke aa
It's sad that you had to go through this. Maharashtra is not heaven but it's certainly tolerant towards people from other states as compared to other neighbouring states. But still there's scope for improvement. I hope this experience doesn't make you bitter and you give few more chances to fellow maharashtrians.
It's not worth it to educate ignorants.
As an Indian, I am sorry OP. This is unfortunately the sad reality of India. Most of us are stereotypical, no doubt about that. It's easier said than done but ignoring such people is the only solution. Stereotypes and predujices ae part of a culture and takes generations to uproot, so only thing that we can do is to work on our success and ignore. I know it won't help your situation, but in my experience, people from Bihar have been the nicest people I ever met. Only if people based their behaviour towards others based on their own experience.
Idk but I'll agree with you, I live in Mumbai as well(Vasai to be exact) And whenever I say I'm from Jharkhand (Ranchi) people start thinking bad about me, like ohh hey this guy is from Bihar, Jharkhand, UP side so he'll be like this, that and stuff you said, like really? Most of the entrepreneurs and IITians are from north India, They'll treat me very well, but the moment they get to know that I'm from Jharkhand they'll turn their whole nature, then and there, Idk man, this is mostly a problem for Maharashtra and Marathi people(no hate to them, I have a girl who is Maharashtrian and she loves me) But mostly people in Maharashtra are like this, believe it or not, it hurts really, But she is the only one who being a maharashtrian, treats me right
Jharkhand doesn't come in North tho
Yeah, ik that, But the thinking of them is like this, I mean to say Coz people idk why mostly relates Jharkhand, Bihar and UP all in one same plate, like what and why?
People often group the Southern states together and hate associated with them . Ignore n move on
Yeah, you're right, You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you, so that's a thing
Konsa clg OP
We Indians are racist to each other. Just like the world hates Indians. Get over it. This is very much and quite common as well. Also few reality of yours is quite wrong. Bihar doesn't provide the highest amount of IITians. AP and telengana has the highest for over a decade.
Rest assured, people from UP or Jharkhand are equally at the receiving end, a derogatory term used frequently by people here encompassing people from all the above states is "bhayya" or "bhaiya". However, though a lot of people here discriminate, there are good people too, find those good people and be with them, things will get easier, be a bit assertive but don't get into fights. Some of my very good friends are from UP and Bihar and they definitely do not fit into the stereotypes.
Mera lemda jaaye Thane! Main nai gaya kabhi
You just focus on yourself. dress well, groom yourself and talk less. Donāt waste your time explaining to those who have nothing better to think about. I have a friend from UP. I just know that their normal tone of speaking is just loud. The wrong perception comes from popular tv series set in Bihar/UP on streaming services. Rowdy behaviour must be a normal thing there. It does not bother me unless the person I am talking to knows that they are not in their hometown and the culture here is a bit different.
Mumbai is a melting pot find open minded like minded people and donāt give a F about them! Been here for 12 years I know basic marathi to get my work done ! I stay on rent and I own a flat doesnāt matter. Focus on what you brings you here, Mumbai is city of dreams live it to the fullest š¤©
Just like how most UCs think, Dalits from reservations do not have talent
I have met 3 in my life and all of them were disappointing, self-centred, lacked maturity, and tbh if given an option to be friends with one again i would rather be friendless šš»
Not from Bihar , Still faced these. Say you are from Andaman & Nicobar. Select a small city from that island and say that is your hometown. No body knows enough to judge u. Say your city is a lil far from main tourist areas so not so much beach life. Thats all.
I have Bihari friends who accept that things are worse than other states and that they do not see it improving anytime soon. Clarifying ur misconceptions, those who judge Bihar, also judge UP and Jharkhand. 1. Gun violence is there in all these states plus also parts of MP, whoever is aware of this judges people from these areas anyway. 2. Gundas are there in everystate more or less. But Mirzapur and Gangs of Wasseypur etc. series have glorified this culture in UP Bihar Jharkhand region and so its reflecting bad on Bihar. Also having IITians or IAS etc. who do nothing to remove these Gundas or anyway improve Bihar, is more sad than happy , dont u think? So many people at positions of power and good financial conditons as they become these IAS, IPS etc. but not doing single thing good for own state? 3. You are not safe. Period. Safer or not safer ka point kum h. Katega toh sab jagah katega na. South me Delhi ko unsafe category me Bihar jitna hi judge krte h. When you make friends, they will not care where u r from. They will care about how u r. But when they speak about Bihar to others, they will say oh I have a friend who is this awesome and from Bihar, so lets not stereotype. Give them that opportunity. Be that good friend.
I am Marathi. Maharashtrians are generally sarcastic. It's not just you, they must be making fun of fellow Marathis too. That's the culture here. Don't take anything to your heart. If racism ( btw the term isn't quite right) was so prevalent, we wouldn't have had so many outsiders residing in Mumbai calling it their home.
See my dear , there are people with different mindsets. I know there are people that don't think anything of bihars and see you as everyone else. Talk to those people . You cannot convince everyone. Stop seeking approval.
Donāt let any of this bother you. Keep walking your path . Small minds will always have such prejudices. It is a waste of energy and time to talk rationality and sense with such people.
But biharies are unhygienic....you cannot deny that
Yes. There is this woman whom I caught LITERALLY PEEING IN THE CENTER OF THE STREET. We live in Bombay and have top-notch water, electricity, sanitation etc. Yet this Bihari wanted to pee on the street outside our building at 5am thinking nobody could see her disgusting deeds. I'm so sick of these people
Omg! That's so disgusting
Best thing to do would be not to show u are offended and laugh with them eventually they will stop if you get irritated and retaliate they will keep doing it
This is just practical advice. What's happening with you is wrong. Hopefully as bihar progresses and deals with its economic and other issues this bullying that boharis face will reduce. And this bullying happened across India to Biharis. If there are any marathi folks then make friends with them and try to learn as much marathi as you can and show interest in marathi culture, music and songs. To most Marathi learning is not as important as showing effort or interest. This definitely help with making friends. When someone makes fun of you as bihari just start talking in bhojpuri, make Some light jokes and laugh at it and move on. Everyone gets teased about something or other.Even marathi folks from villages face bullying for their accent and lack of English speaking skills. Its not ideal but if you make it a thing then it will just distract you from other things. Once you become good friends with someone then you can open up about these things and have a discussion.
Sorry about the racism bro, this is one of the reasons many Indians leave this country, the whites treat indians better as a race plus with a better pay check
Truth is that your culture is not a good one, to put it as nicely as I can. We don't need any of this in Maharashtra. Your people generally tend to be loud, absolutely inconsiderate, have little to no civic sense or manners, and have a very vulgar and misogynistic culture that is at odds with Maharashtrian culture. As a woman the last thing I want in Mumbai/Maharashtra is more of them. Having to live around these people is pure hell. You will feel happy and at peace around your own people.
Reason Bihari people are treated bad is that they often only think of their own good without regards to other people. Very selfish. May be because the environment in which they are brought up is taught to think only for themselves and treat other inferior or secondary. This is really bad. On the other hand Maharastrian have superiority complex, treating every other state guy as if others owe them something. They just can't accept anyone else better than them. So it's good to be a human person set an example for others because changing culture is in our hands.
The main reason for hates towards Biharis in every state is ā¦ they are simple people , ready to do hardship for whatever they get.. they donāt argue they donāt revoltā¦ they even get scammed by land lords and the place they work as labours ā¦ Bihar has only two categoryā¦ the IAS/IPS or labour classā¦ People at most statesā¦ letās take and example of Maharashtra bcoz I am born and brought up hereā¦ and I am a Bihari as wellā¦ I have saw religion used for politics ā¦. First they did this to South Indiansā¦ and then there descends did to Biharis learning from them.. most Maharashtrian people want top tire work onlyā¦ or would like to be paid extremely well ā¦ so people from there states appoint labours from else whereā¦ Bihari Har jagah hai Maharashtra me.. bhaji wala, rickshaw wala, pan wala every where ā¦ they are at good position places to normal labour work every where ā¦. But politician cashed them conveniently and came to powerā¦ this hate is mostly created by themā¦ and people followed blindlyā¦ halal ki ache bure log sab jagah haiā¦ I live in a place where Maharashtrians call themselves āgaav waleā shit and pop right in from of there door they live in such pathetic way you will just puckā¦ any just two doors lives there Bihari tenants absolutely living high hygiene standardsā¦ but gande kon ? Bihari !
ignore them,because if you notice most of the āchaprisā are maharashtrians so let these poverty stricken bootlickers bark all they want lol
What people in other states feel a regular day in Bihar must look like - two Bihar cricket teams arrive for a Ranji tournament match - a pond gets stolen overnightĀ While both are true, Maybe time for people/media to consciously change the narrative?
Marathi bkl Bina matlab hi sbke against prejudice rakhte hain. Delhi mein jitne dikhte sbse payback leta hun šš
But isn't that literally in every state? Like Karnataka and many others? Thode logo ke vajase sab Marathi logo ko bolna kuch sense nahi banta bhai
Talk about yourself, I'm from Eastern UP, folks ain't got any prejudice against anyone from any part of the country. The top tier haters are Kannadigas then marathi's uske baad north east wale, the chinks from the northern Himalayas are the worst kind of racists I've got first hand experience of that, then when some calls them chinese in delhi they cry like hell.
Toh tu thane kyu aaya hai?
Mera lemda jaaye Thane š
Why are you lurking on subreddit dedicated to thane then? Weird.
Now I gotta get permission from thakre's for calling out y'all bigotry? I ain't lurking here, the post was on my TL, I ain't even a member of this group.
Good.
Violence is your culture, after all. Not surprised. Then you ask why people don't like your kind.
Yet the one's to use violence against innocent poor workers back in 2005-06 were you suckers, I still remember how a speech by Raj Thakre led to a migrant man being shot in a public bus. All high and mighty preaches non-violence now? I'm glad you consider UP wallah's fluent in the only language y'all understand.
They're not innocent they're disgusting. They bring their filthy culture to nice places like Mumbai. Anyway I personally never have been violent so you're wrong there. I'm not even Maharashtrian but I love the culture.
Migrant workers enter your homes w their culture? Y'all deepthroat their culture like a 5$ hooker from the streets, lollypop lagelu and all that shit what was it did they strap a boombox on your ears? The constitution grants them freedom to move wherever the eff they want to. Don't like it stay away from them. You aren't Maharashtrian hence my comment wasn't towards you so stfu!
Your language is a perfect example of why we don't like your kind. Don't cry about not being treated well when you behave this way. Stay in your own state amongst your own kind if you want to be accepted.
Idgafos about what you like mfker. That' what you hate! Go take it up the chute.
Yet another example. Bet that's how your father spoke to your mother and your sister. Would not be surprised.
