announcement
This is a platform for those Biharis and non-Biharis who have to say something of significance on Bihar and its neighbourhood. that would include politics, culture, society, history, literature, art, economy, folk lore, archeology, humour and especially those topics that bring into focus the linkages among these. we are open to discussion on linkages with the neighbouring regions like Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, assam, Orissa and the North east.

rashtriya sahara published a full page survey of audience reaction to Bhojpuri films today. an overwhelming majority found bhojpuri films vulgar. many of them thought you can't see a bhojpuri film with you family. this raises a number of questions about our so-called folk forms e.g. songs which have acquired a different meaning in a new setting. it also raises the question - who is bhojpuri cinema catering to? what is vulgarity? was any of it a direct outcome of bhojpuri films? as for family viewing, isn't it more common for families to sit together in front of the TV rather than visit a hall with dubious reputation? there are many other question that a society in transition may ask. and we need to look at them closely.
