Somebody tell me!

Chhattisgarh is one of the youngest states in India. The people who have either lived in some other state in past or who are living in some other state right now, might have definitely noticed how the general mindset of the people is different from the people of other states. I have worked outside Chhattisgarh for many years. Even now visiting other states is blissful. Don't you sometimes feel, Chhattisgarhias need to be more assertive. You may say, people need this quality everywhere! But, our people are comparatively more submissive than the people of other states. Our politicians don't get important ministries but they remain humble.

Chhattisgarhias are emotional and have patience up to an irritating extent. Our Amit Sana (Bhilai), Sumedha Karmahe(Rajnandgaon) have exhibited their talent at national level media. They are still struggling to rise. My sincere good wishes to both artists but I must appreciate those artists and their family for their achievements. The local newspapers and TV channels played role in their success. Why?

Somebody tell me!

It is really very nice to live in a state where the people are soft spoken and generous. Chhattisgarh is one such state. It is blessed with everything which makes it special. The funny things happen when we communicate with somebody for whom Chhattisgarh is an unknown state. These gentlmen, readily start talking about naxalism, economic or academic backwardness of Chhattisgarh. They view us like the people who have been living in deprivation and ignorance.

Will somebody tell me, why it happens? Is there anything we do or we don't do? Has the national media projected us in that way?
