On tuesday students near Patna in Bihar tried to forcibly occupy seats reserved in advance by passengers in airconditioned compartments of the Delhi-Patna Shramjeevi Express and were prevented from doing so by security personnel. Enraged by this they burnt airconditioned compartments of the train causing millions of rupees worth of damage and enormous invenience for legitimate passengers. Biharis seem to be brought up with the belief that they can loot from others whatever they fancy and if thwarted are prepared to kill. All trains from Kolkata, except those going east, have to pass through Bihar and passengers are regularly forced to give up their seats to thugs who refuse to pay the fare. Loots and rapes are common and if anyone resists he or she is thrown out of the moving train and mostly killed. Thus there is enormous anger against Biharis in all parts of India. Biharis also continue to produce the largest numbers of children and migrate to every part of the country in search of jobs often outnumbering locals. Thus people like Raj Thackeray and ULFA are easily able to tap into a preexisting resentment very easily. The freeloading press heaps abuse on these people instead of discussing the root causes. Thus the problems continue to fester.
