Approaching the US for Raj Thakrey- Wrong Action



The msg "NRI group asks US to put MNS on terror watch list posted in Bihar-Network Group" can be read in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bihar-Network/message/342

My Response: 
In my considered opinion this action of requesting the US Govt to declare Raj Thakrey a Terrorist by the NRIs/ NRBs is completely wrong and a misplaced priority. The issue has to be settled by us and within our framework. It is only to be deplored. I am also afraid that in the Indian Legal Framework it can be an Anti- National Act.
  1. Pl. remember that the US has not settled the issues anywhere. It only acted like a Monkey and the Two fighting cats story and returned from everywhere with a bloody face. Just look where it is today. 
  2. My humble suggestion is to raise the economic, social and cultural level of Bihar to a level which surpasses every other Unit/ State in India. For this we have to put our heads together, think in a positive way how to create wealth and Job opportunities in the State.
  3. Pl. remember that Biharis are mostly employment oriented not entrepreneurship type. The elites in the Bihar Groups must work on an honest strategy to set up (a) small  industries,(b) soil testing labs in each district, (c) Food processing industries, (d) set up or Transfer  Head or Branch offices in Patna and elsewhere, (e) Institutions for Professional and Vocational courses.  
  4. Academic sessions in Existing Educational Systems (Univesities) must be corrected to make it July -May. This will be an indicator of our sensitivity towards a disciplined behaviour. Pl. note that once the sessions got derailed in 1966-67 nothing could be done to correct the sessions.
  5. Fix a five year Plan to achieve these objectives  and you will see a reverse journey of Marathis from Maharashtra to Bihar seeking Jobs.  
  6. I also suggest that some resourceful person must work out how to stop Money flow from States to Mumbai.
