“The visible dehumanizing or derogatory phrases in the image include: "Ek bihari 100 bimari" ("One Bihari, a hundred diseases.") "Bhen k lode" (a Hindi profanity directed at a person) "chup bihari" ("Shut up, Bihari.") "Bihari ❌ Cancer ✅" (equating being Bihari with something worse than cancer) "tum Bihari log toh cockroach hote ho" ("You Bihari people are cockroaches.") "bimarands" (an insulting portmanteau combining "Bihari" with "bimar" (diseased) and a slur) The meme on the left also contains stereotypical captions such as: "Wake up, take nude river bath, pray to sun & get ready for bengali customers" "Wake up, eat tatta choka, go for majdoori"”
The image shows anti-Bihari stereotypes and dehumanizing slurs that portray Biharis as inferior, uncivilized, or less than human. It highlights regional prejudice, hate speech, and discrimination targeting people from Bihar.
