the bihar we are not seeing

i wrote about the fascinating new bihar here - the bihar we don't know.
and during the same time and as i type this, bihar has been wrecked by flooding.

here are a series of news articles from rediff.
floods: Bihar will take years to recover
when the water recedes, our problems will multiply
images from the devastation

one of my friends used to do sales in bihar and he had once described this scene. and i used to be stunned just at the description.
this picture explains why.
