My tender Bihari sentiments are often hurt these days because of spate of jibes on Bihar/ Biharis. Off late, I have often thought if we can use this wonderful sedition law to protect the scarce Bihari pride against such attacks.
Biharipana, in all honesty, is as ancient a concept as nationalism; state is as old a system as a modern nation; our boundaries are as natural as India's. Linguistically, granted, we are slightly less fortunate and the same phenomena of poverty and intolerance to criticism that unite India, unite us also. So, we Biharis also should have our rights under this law.
And now we have Markandey Katju also to suffer.
One good thing is that mercifully God has given us a sense of humour.
