And how different is a Uneductaed Bihari type (whatever that means) different from an uneducated Gujrati or an uneducated Tamil or uneducated any one for that matter ... Why brand some one like that ???
I don't know what the controversy is here. I'm not BRANDING anyone. Anyone who lives in India or has any inkling of what India is all about knows what an 'uneducated bihari type' is. That 'type' is a rickshawwallah, a daily wage labourer or one of Lau Yadav's henchmen types. Like it or not, ACCEPT it or not, that's the image of a typical Bihari in India. And that is what Deepak meant when he called Ravi a 'Bihari'. He meant it as an insult and that was what was wrong with it. We've had educated Biharis like Dr Rajendra Prasad and other prominent figures but unfortunately Lalu is what comes to mind when one speaks of a Bihari. Although educated, he comes of as crude and rude. An uneducated Gujrati or an uneducated Tamilian,sorry to say, don't share the same image. An uneducated Mumbaiya has his 'tapori bhaasha', an uneducated UP ka bhaiya has his own style and so on..........
Anyone who knows what India is all about will agree that this is not branding. This is what India is. Everyone has a certain image. Every south indian is called a 'madrassi' by the north indians. It is wrong but that's how it is.
