Anti-Bihari Racism refers to the large scale racism in India against the people of the State of Bihar, and it often gets brushed under the carpet without being highlighted like the North-South Divide, or the Hindu-Muslim debate. Unlike those two, and many other topics, the widespread racist undercurrent against the people from Bihar doesn't get discussed enough. Bihar had slower economic growth than the rest of India in the 1990s which led to Biharis migrating to other parts of India in search of opportunities. Bihari migrant workers have been subject to a growing degree of hatred by the locals of those states because of their stereotyping as criminals, rapists and traitors. Moreover, the Biharis have been victimized due to the growing anti-Hindi imposition sentiment in non-Hindi states owing to the Central government agencies excluding regional languages in many national exams and services.
