“Biharis show India's way”

This refers to the above mentioned article published in TDS on November 10. Yes, India's democracy has shined again through the fair and peaceful election in Bihar in which voters rejected the communal forces.

                Bihar is a backward state. Its fragile agro-based economy, caste- ridden social structure, absence of any big industry and over-population needs special attention. The state virtually has been ruined by the misrule of Lalu Prasad. The mafia dons Shabuddin, Sadhu Yadav and other henchmen of Lalu always ran the show in the politics of Bihar. This time Lalu and Nitish came together because they felt that unless they joined hands, chances of their being defeated were pretty high. It is an alliance of convenience. Nonetheless, we welcome the defeat of the BJP, a communal force, in Bihar.
