8226; I agree with Sudheendra Kulkarni8217;s views expressed in his column, 8216;8216;Lessons in Bihar, for vanquished and victors8217;8217;. While the votes were for liberalisation of Bihar from Laloo8217;s Jungle Raj, the verdict also holds a lesson for the new chief minister, Nitish Kumar. Even opportunist politicians like Ram Vilas Paswan have been shown their place by the people of Bihar.

8226; With reference to Tavleen Singh8217;s column, 8216;8216;Good riddance, but road all uphill ahead8217;8217;, many Indians were pleased with the Bihar poll verdict. Laloo Prasad Yadav8217;s one-man show of running the State Government has finally ended. However, it is too early to write him off yet.

8226; Years of misrule have reduced Bihar8217;s glorious past to its present state. Bihar has an ancient and glorious history as the seat of learning and culture. The town of Vaishali was the seat of the first republic of the world in sixth century BC. Nalanda and Vikramshila were the world8217;s first Buddhist universities. The term 8216;8216;Bihar8217;8217; itself is a synonym of the word 8216;8216;Vihara8217;8217; which means a Buddhist monastery.

8226; This refers to the report, 8216;8216;Paper Chase8217;8217;. While the case related to Abdul Karim Telgi8217;s multi-crore stamp paper scam drags on in Court, there is still a shortage of stamp papers and Re 1 revenue stamps. This is because these are being sold in the black.

8226; Coomi Kapoor8217;s column, 8216;8216;Inside Track8217;8217;, reflects the true character of Laloo Prasad Yadav. He is a false God who has fooled the people of Bihar in the name of 8216;8216;fighting against communal forces8217;8217;. His resentment against the EC shows that he wanted to win the Bihar election by hook or crook. Having failed, he has now revealed his true colours.

8226; With reference to N K Singh8217;s column, 8216;8216;A moving mantra8217;8217;, while we feel proud of the achievements of Indians working abroad we tend to forget that they owe part of their success to the world famous organisations that they work for. Why aren8217;t Indians working in Indian companies not able to achieve the same degree of success and fame internationally?
