As per the approximate estimates, the number of Biharis employed in the IT firms operating
in Bangalore is less than 5 % of the total employees.

This is way too less compared to Marathi population in It industry in Maharastra.
Tamil population in the IT industry in Chennai and Telugu population in IT industry in Hyderabad
(where they are80-90% of total workforce).
This disparity is because of the discrimination against Biharis during recruitment by IT companies in Maharastra, Karnataka,
Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal , Delhi.


Even though biharis candidates are well qualified and possess the required IT Skills and the relevant experience,
they are not provided opportunities to prove their capability because of the discrimination against them.
The only reason for this is that he / she is a Bihari and or Speaker of Bihari /bhojpuri language.
There are many instances of this type of discrimination against Bihari /bhojpuri people in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai.

When an IT company decides for the recruitment of Fresh graduates, they conduct Campus Interviews in the Engineering
Colleges across the country except unless they are IITs/ISM/NIT of bihar where they have a compulsion to recruit students
from ll over india. But these very companies go to all the colleges of Tamilnadu, Andhra, Karnataka
Kerala & Maharastra which are in the nook and corner of these states. Even though UP/Bihar has a very good
number of reputed engineering colleges across the state these companies do not consider them for their Campus Recruitment
process except for one or two colleges like IIT/NIT/Indian school of mines .

For example recently a reputed IT company recruited many non-Bihari freshers in the pretext of selecting locals
from a engineering college , Patna.


During annual appraisal process UP/Bihari employees are given step motherly treatment and their
performance appraisals are not done fairly and objectively and thus are denied Promotions.
Other non bihari employees with similar performance are promoted to higher positions with good hike.
Biharis are denied opportunities in working on challenging assignments, denied onsite opportunities and hence have
less exposure in comparison to South-Indian or Maharastrians who are provided with ample opportunities to perform and grow.


Why UP/Biharis are being discriminated in IT industry?

The answer to this question is simple. The key positions (senior & middle management and HR) in these
IT industries are in the hands of non-Biharis who simply favour their own state candidates, against UP/Biharis
candidates. For example a Tamilian Project Manager prefers a Tamil person for an open position in his team and gets
internal references from his fellow Tamilian team members and colleagues. If he doesnt get a suitable Tamilian candidate
internally he decides for external reference by way of IT Consultants and shortlists only Tamilian candidates. He rejects
UP/Biharis Candidates referred by IT consultants even if he suits the job. The same is true for a Marathi Manager, Telugu Manager, Bengali
Manager or a Keralite Manager or Kannadiga Manager.


By this time you are all aware about how and why eligible and best Bihari brains are being discriminated in the IT Industry
and are dishonored in their own so-called country . So to stop this unfair and unjust treatment in
recruiting Biharis in IT Sector, the need for the implementation of the IT industry in Bihar is essential.


Please forward this to all Biharis so that the injustice meted out to Biharis in IT companies comes to the
notice of all the biharis , including the state government.

The Bihar state govt should exigently take steps to start IT and software companies in bihar otherwise this Discrimination will keep on growing and finally will put Bihar into a deep economic disparity against other developed Sates on India and will ultimately lead to more attacks and discrimination against the Bihari Professionals in future. So I request all Bihari people to pass on this information to other Bihar groups and bring this into notice of each and every bihari so that they can report such incidents
