Its really sad to see such incidence happening, in
fact such force full chanda collection is common and
BIHAR Government should come forward and declare this
as an unlawful act, similar to extortion in gravity.
How ever shouting slogans by women travelers like
Bihar Nahi Sudhera ga etc. it shows nothing but their
biasness and corrupt mentality. Rather my comment is
that these Indians will not Change.Do these Women form NCR come out and sought Slogan on
Delhi/Haryana/UP etc. nahi sudhera ga when women are
gang raped, Kidney are stolen, or when women are
killed on Delhi road??? And answer is big NO you
scoundrels.

Such an action cannot and should not be condoned. But victims appear
to be more interested in badmouthing Bihar (Bihar nahin sudherega)
rather than seek justice for their complaint. Bihar gets more than its
fair share of flak due to such stray incidents. Maybe we should learn
from Pakistan who are doing a good job of defending even such an
indefensible thing as supporitng terrorism!
On a more serious note, Bihar is more sinned against than sinned. A CM
of Maharashtra (Ramrao Adik) misbehaves with airhotesses when drunk on
an international flight and the flak is reserved only for him as an
individual and not his state. But when a junior MP gets caught in a
brothel in Calcutta, Bihar keeps getting rammed for months and years!
RK Singh was a young probationer in IAS from Bihar who was accused of
misdemeanor by the administrator of LBS academy, Musoorie, a hihgly
biased bureaucrat called PS Appu who insisted on summarily dismissing
Singh without enquiry. It made headline news for days in the
'national' newspaper. Bihar minister Bhishm Narayan Singh was accused
of shielding a guilty party when he insisted on a proper enquiry
before any action against RK Singh. In the event, RK Singh was
dismissed from service.
RK Singh fought the case in a court of law. He went on fighting for
almost a decade as each time he would win, the govt would file a case
in a higher court. Finally, the Indian supreme court declared the
action ultra vires and RK Singh was reinstated. The same 'national'
newspapers never reported it in their headines. The arrogant PS Appu
never issued any public apology for his highly biased act.
Bihar kafi sudhar chuka hai. Let us bring perspective to such news
items. "National" newspapers have a vested to report negative news
from Bihar. Years and years of baised coverage have made them
genetically incapable of reporting anything but biased news from
Bihar.

It's a sad incident. The culprits should be punished. At the same time it appears that inorder to get attention tourists restored to raising slogans against Bihar. Making statements like Bihar kabhi nahin sudherega (Bihar is hopeless) reflects nothing but prejudiced minds which is technically racism. It results in loosing public sympathy of any kind for the victims.
