Letters to the Honorable Chief Minister

We always feel proud when we tell somebody that we are from Bihar, a state which is always known for its tolerance, non-violence and communal harmony. The land of several great personalities, such as Mahatma Gautam Buddha, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka the great, the great Pathan of Bihar, Sher Shah "Suri”, and the tenth and the last Guru of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh. Bihar has given the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the freedom fighter and great son of India. Our rich history is witness that we have always worked to bring our country together and spread communal harmony all over India.
Bihar has produced several great poets, writers and scholars, such as Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, Phanishwar Nath ‘Renu’, Baba Nagarjun, Arun Kamal, Aalok Dhanwa, Janab Shaad Azimabadi, Khuda Baksh Khan, Maulana Shabnam Kamali, Bismil Azimabadi (well known for the famous and patriotic poem “Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai"), Kaif Azimabadi, and Kalim Ajiz. All these great personalities have always tried to bring our country together. We always respect the cultural and religious diversity and beliefs. We have always been taught to respect each and every person of all the communities. Even at the time of great crisis (Babri Masjid demolition time on 6th December 1992) whole India was burning but Bihar maintained communal harmony. We have always believed on non-violence but in the last few years, the people of Bihar are facing humiliation and ill-treatment in other parts of the country to the extent that it seems that we are not the part of this great country. This atrocity is not only done by some self-centered and motivated persons of our motherland but also the civil servants of our country, who are supposed to provide protection to each and every citizen of our country.
Respected Hon’ble Chief Minister Nitish Kumarji all people from Bihar were proud and elated when you were chosen as the best CM in India. We Biharis see eye to eye the good and yeoman works done by you and your government for the welfare and betterment of Bihar. The outstanding work done by you has given you the Chief-minister ship second time.
Your good self would have also observed recently that how the innocent people from Bihar have been tortured or killed in other States particularly in Maharashtra (recently 6 Biharis were killed in Chennai in an unwarranted encounter) and the Police incapacity to prevent the atrocities against Biharis. Nowadays they don’t even give the suspects a chance to prove their innocence (we have seen in recent Chennai massacre).
You are also aware that recently how the young educated persons especially from minority community of Bihar who are working in other parts of our country have been targeted by police of other States and given the name “Bihar Modules” to defame Bihar. Our young generation has been wrongfully associated with worse crimes of our country without any evidence and proof. They are blindly targeting our young generation particularly Muslim youths.
But what is more unfortunate is that people from Bihar particularly minorities are ill-treated in their own land Bihar. We Muslim from Bihar are amazed and shocked at this. Muslim Youths are arrested and abducted by Police (STF) at random without any solid evidence and the relatives are not even given information about the whereabouts of their dear-ones which is a serious human rights violation and causing serious mental agony to the family members. A recent example was the arrest of Mr. Moahmmed Kafeel a cycle fitter from Dharbhanga,, Bihar by STF. His arrest took place as a state sponsored kidnapping.
Ill-treatment of People of Bihar in their own land adds insult to the injury already suffered by Biharis in other parts of India. All these incidences might lead the young generation to a very deadly wrong path, this gives an opportunity to very few fanatic communal groups to pollute young immature minds.
Honorable Sir, we sincerely request you to take appropriate action to protect our young and bright, future generation of Bihar, who are always interested to play a positive and constructive role in the development of Bihar and also of India.
Sincerely,
