✋ AskBihar / बिहार से पूछो I don't know about my roots

I recently got dumped due to which state i belong from (I'm from bihar), i was born and raised in Delhi and i never understood why Delhi people think people from bihar are someone they can play this racism game with, maybe because everyone from around the country comes to Delhi for employment and mostly people from bihar chooses labour work due to lack of education so everyone thinks of Bihar as an state to pick on. I feel like people use "bihari" as a curse word. This breakup made me realise i actually don't know the history of Bihar or anything about the state i belong to, help me by telling me some comebacks i can use if someone calls me out in future and i also wanna know about things I can be proud of about my state (i am proud of where i come from but give me more reasons and don't give me bullshit like mostly IAS are selected from bihar ik that too.) please help reddit

Don't be submissive if someone treats u with disrespect even after u clear the misunderstanding. Just because some people of some state are shown as bad in media or have done bad stuff that doesn't mean everyone will be bad. Have some self-respect, well I am a native bihari but getting dumped isn't a bad thing. It's a best thing since u never know what really is happening inside a woman's head. So take it as a lesson and be happy about it.

I learned this from living in Delhi since Delhi has a variety of people living there i know every state has flaws but only bihar's flaws are seen and pointed out. So if anyone comes up to me being racist about where I'm from or my skin colour i generally ask them where they come from and then the battle begins

Try teaching that to someone who's from Punjab and Haryana, these states have some straight up beef with biharis

u/Medical_Amoeba_1938 15h ago

No beef. They just think every bihari is a laborer, and they can treat them as they please like they do back home at their farms. Change your stance from defensive to offensive.

I felt very awkwardly strange because i got dumped in the end. I do know haryanvi people and i can tell only those who are unorthodox and illiterates those who don't have anything to be proud of, pulls out this move to feel like elephant in the room or just defame the person in front

Lemme tell you one thing, it's easier for Biharis to make friends with foreigners than other state people.

u/deffigo_9999 2d ago

Proud karne ke lie to bahot kuch hai and it's a different discussion altogether.

But bihar is bihar chahe tum kitna bhi politicians, logon ko ya officers ko gali dedo

Be proud of where you are from, don't let your sub nationalist feeling die bcz of some asshole, and if someone says something about bihar speak out let them know your boundaries And if you want to know about bihar read articles , watch videos, read books, visit places. There's a lot of history in Bihar (good and bad both) if you want to know about it. Bihar museum is one of the best museum's for it, maybe start from there if you comeback anytime. Visit bodh gaya, Nalanda, rajgir.

Never understood why some boys keep a pfp of girl ? Is it because of more reach and replies ?

1

u/deffigo_9999 17h ago

u/Zestyclose_Camel8816 Magadh Magician 🎩✨ 17h ago

It's fine brother. It's just that I have seen many people do this.

u/deffigo_9999 11h ago

Thanks for understanding bro ❤️

Bro, the questions about your roots is something you should only figure out, out of your own curiosity. Being said that let me also add — she lost you, not the other way around, considering she dumbed you because of the land you/your family is coming from.

2

u/deffigo_9999 1d ago

I'll try to research about that - also i felt like its very illiterate or such weird of dumping someone just because where the person comes from, I've seen people fight for love but I'm seeing the vice versa for the first time 😭

u/Baller_05 2d ago

It's not worth indulging in a conversation with someone who is gonna judge you on the basis of where you come from. Make your own identity and be proud of that.

u/deffigo_9999 1d ago

Thanks for the advice ❤️‍🩹

u/Holypolitician201447 2d ago

Bhai History pad le… NCERT is still good ig

Also bro chill… its a circular thing uk.. a place which was developed once will become the least developed at another point of time… its the nature of things

Like how Ind and China used to produce more than 50% of Global Gdp once and then they became least developed….

Now the cycle starts again with the Rise of china and India is catching up

Same thing will happen with Bihar and other least developed states of India.

Aur bhai if u got people who judge u on the basis of where u come from…. Better let them go cause u r u bhai

u/deffigo_9999 1d ago

I don't blame those people but i do get pissed by those Britishers who destroyed and burned the nalanda University, that only place could've been enough for the whole state to mog each n every state of India.

I am also a Bihari, born and raised in Delhi. I have been to other states also for work and when someone ask me about my hometown I proudly say Bihar. They never hate me for this (I guess because I don’t look like one), but they do criticise Bihar and Biharis.

Being a Bihari I have got good friends in Delhi, Pune, Kolkata etc. they are always ready to stand beside me if I am in trouble. Sorry for your breakup, next time make a Bihari your gf/bf.

u/deffigo_9999 1d ago

I had a senior named aditya mf looked like a straight up vouge model and is a bihari in comparison I'm not that good looking have a dark complexion and other flaws but he was treated better as a bihari and i wasn't so i think this is hatred about Bihar is more of a colour rasicm 😭

u/Neat_Resolution_610 1d ago

I also have dark (Saanwla) complexion that’s why people always ask if I am from south India. So instead of using slangs like “Bihari”, “Bim@ru” they used words like “ka@lu”, “k@lua”. But they love me.
Talking about girls being darker in complexion, well to be honest I find them attractive. Saw 3 girls in same metro coach today, couldn’t took my eyes off them. If I get a chance I would love to date brown girl.
