Particularly since after 1960, Bihar has been a politically boiling cauldron. All sorts of experiments have been tried here and more and more appear to be in the offing. It has been the cradle of Lohia’s socialist movement as well as the historic Sampoorn Kranti of JP. The Janta umbrella raised in 1977 under JP stewardship, in the following years, for its inbuilt contradictions, just frittered away and the subsequent periods showed the state politics stooping so low that Bihar started being castigated as a state of inert people. But this is just one side of the coin. The ingenuous people of the state, kept on giving adequate expression to their talents in other fields.
We understand that in metropolitan cities including Delhi, there are coaching centres for competitive examinations which charge heavily for preparing the aspirants to get through. It has emerged as a lucrative industry. Against this background, one Anand Kumar of Bihar started a unique coaching system called Super 30. He collected students from the lowest strata of society, offered them free boarding and lodging and gave personal attention to coach them. For last several years, the Super 30 has been scoring nearly 100% success. Anand kumar emerged as an icon and today is being invited by different universities in the world to deliver lecture on his success story.
It has inspired others too to draw inspiration. We know that Muslim society is lagging behind in the economic race as well as education. The situation is still worse so far as female education is concerned. Taking a cue from Alok, a young Muslim, named Rahmani, after his name recently launched Rahmani 30. Since he has the experience of association with Alok, his group has also started showing similar breathtaking results as this year out of 30, 27 have cracked IIT test. Rahmani knows the weak sides of his community and so rightly decided to concentrate on girls as his next step.
These are very incouraging trends. We can draw several healthy lessons. Firstly, instead of playing only politics, we should do some creative work in the field. Secondly, let us forget to blame the govt for every deficiency in the society. And finally, the self-help has no substitute.
