Patna Women's College, BBB touched the chord !!







Screening of Bring Back Bihar at Patna Women's College was truly amazing. We can only say that "The message reached the audience".

Here are some snaps of the screening.

-------------------------------Review---------------------------------

PWC screening saw the maximum presence of desirable audience till date. It was very well organised screening and best so far. As I had told about the mindset of youth here in patna, PWC is no exception to that, but there are thinkers in it. I could not answer all of them. But I would want to go back to PWC and talk individually with all the girls. Most of the time you will have audience who have either no interest in subject or they are shy enough to question anything. But again I would say that leaders are not born everyday. PWC has a legacy of 50 years or more and the students are proud being this institution. Sister Dorris is not only a mother figure of this institution but a crusader of sort and institution in herself.


The kind of interaction I had with girls was really enlightening for me. I know that we come from various socio-economic class, and there are several constraints on all of us. Only thing which Bihar expects from its youth and especially the students is "a thought process", "a sense of responsibility for this land" and "a sense of ownership" for Bihar. Now the time has come when all our moves, be at professional, educational or personal growth, it needs to be in favour of upliftment and development of Bihar. One students asked me that you too went out to study and work, why didnt I kept myself in Bihar. I want to answer them. Yeah, it is true that I went out of Bihar in 1999, and I was not sensitive that time. how much awakening can we expect from a lad of age 17-18 in bihar and that too 10 years back from now. But now I am back in Bihar, working for it, finally I realised My responsibilities for Bihar and I am doing. There were a few students from communicative english department who raised a dispute that I should be showing this film to non-biharis outside. Now, this is something which really bothered me. I would rather say that anyone saying that is in deep slumber and complacent. I would want them to go around Indian, live outside and see what kind of treatment we biharis get. What do I need to do ? For how long can we bask in the glory of Buddhaa, Asoka, Mahaveer and Guru Gobind Singh. Has anyone of us have followed any of the teachings of Buddhaa or principles of Mahaveer. For how long are we going to boast for maximum no. of IAS/IPS etc. If we are so good, then what's the problem with us. I gave the example of hair gets grey due to abdominal problem. So whats the solution, should we keep coloring our hair or find a cure for abdominal problem. Thus, we need to change things here in Bihar. It starts with small thing like stop littering, spitting, and following traffic rules. So, PWC should be a prime crusader for any developmental change. Bihar needs sacrifice of many. By sacrifice I mean being self less. Lay off your desires to earn extra and move out to pune, bangalore, delhi, gurgaon, mumbai.. If you get a job in desired field in Bihar. Do it and try to bring about changes here. As, the youth of migration has gone beyond control, the damage to the social fabric of Bihar has gone beyond repair. But still we can come together and bring that much needed change. And when you want to change, BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE. We have to come above caste region and religion for one cause and that is BIHAR.

Well, i guess, for the start, its good enough. As the movement gains momentum, and mileage....it will garner more interest. As of now, you could expect the 'fertile'minds to be on the phone, or move in and out of the audi, till they themselves have to face Mumbai, Thackerey, and the stigma of being Bihari outside the state.

Bihar is sinned against, since independence. It has been since then deprived of the infrastructure, and other modalities necessary for the continous upliftment, and general progress. The successive governments have just exploited the franchisee. Neverthless, we have to admit that we, ourselves allowed them the liberty, privilege....and meanwhile kept loosing our own senses. When we could have constructed our own homes, we ventured out in retrospect.

Vitriolism against Biharis is at its core. People do they tend to forget that, Bihar is a part of India, and it will continue to be. And it contributes to an overall significant population, of the total population. Until and unless, mind is leashed to see Biharis as a neighbour, and as an Indian, we as a whole can't achieve the moons.

In betterment of Bihar, lies the betterment of India! So Indians come, lets contribute to a better Bihar, a New Bihar!!!!

And Biharis, lets make a pledge to do our parts, in the tidbits we can, right from the basic civic sense on the road, to the franchise we practise, to the conduct when we move out of Bihar. Lets maintain Ourselves!

Jai Hind!

What I want to share is We Biharis have to change our way of thinking towards life/future/career. Eek Sardar ji mehnat karke Dhaba banana chahta hai but Eek Bihari babu usi dhabe me Naukari karke pet katna chahta hai. Aaj koi Gujrati papad biskit ki dukaan khol lega but 1500 bucks ki naukari kabhi nhai karega, but garib bihari usi dukan me naukari karna pasan karega.
Ha ye jarur hai ki ham bihari mehnati khub hote hain but thode sahi margdarshan mil jaye to issi mehnat ko sahi disha de sakte haain. Aaj bhi chotte city's Bihari youth ka targate Police/Railway/Bank aur koi bhi sarkari naukari hoti hai business ko choti chij samjhte hai aur koi bhi 2000 rs ke naukari ko jayada ?? Kyunki isse unka Demand uss area me kafi badh jayega aur Dahej kafi jayada milega.
then hai na complete mindsate change karne ki jarurat.
