Anti-Bihari slurs and collective vilification by X user @nsj2807
““These biharis mock the genocide and rape of Punjabis, sindhis, kashmiris and Bengalis. They give rape threats to women, shit on the streets and have the audacity to play victim Ek Bihari sau bimari””
X user SJ (@nsj2807) responded to a post discussing anti-Bihari hostility by making sweeping derogatory claims about Biharis as a group. The post collectively associates Biharis with rape threats, public defecation, and the alleged mocking of atrocities suffered by Punjabis, Sindhis, Kashmiris and Bengalis. It concludes with the expression “Ek Bihari sau bimari”, literally presenting one Bihari as equivalent to a hundred diseases. Rather than criticising specific individuals or conduct, the post assigns degrading and criminal characteristics to Biharis collectively on the basis of regional identity. The disease comparison further dehumanises the group by representing Biharis themselves as a form of contamination or social affliction. The content therefore constitutes explicit regional hate and xenophobic stereotyping directed at people from Bihar.
The account’s timeline contains multiple other posts and replies expressing similar anti-Bihari hostility, including derogatory generalisations, regional slurs, and collective negative stereotyping of Biharis. This incident therefore appears to form part of a recurring pattern of anti-Bihari content rather than an isolated post.
