Quote of the Day – A Famous Bihari

One cannot judge the value of an opinion simply by the amount of courage that is required in holding it.
– A famous Bihari in an unfinished essay on writer Evelyn Waugh, 1949

Do you schmucks know the identity of this famous Bihari?

Since God has not bestowed Indians with enough gray matter, my innate generosity compels me to give you an easy clue – The Bihari served as an officer in the Indian Police Service.

On second thoughts, given that I’m dealing with a large gaggle of dickheads, here’s one more clue – This Bihari’s father was an opium trader.

Cast off your dunce-caps now and put your thinking caps on.

No googling allowed.

OK blockheads, today’s your lucky day.

Here, take another clue – This Bihari is more famous than Rajendra Prasad, Jayaprakash Narayan and Lalu Prasad Yadav combined (three well known personalities from Bihar).

If you dimwits can’t get the right answer with three clues and without googling, then the SI blog is wasted on you cud-chewing quadrupeds.

    Bravo! Correct answer.

    Looks like you’re the only one of our countless brainless-twit-readers with that body organ called Brain.

    Now tell me your source and I’ll know if you googled.

    Wait, I’ve read this quote somewhere and I’m damn sure the person had an English name. Just can’t remember the name.

    Definitely couldn’t have been a Bihari unless he was born in Bihar, India.

    Well, why did u decide to make ur readers play the guessing game.You could have said it yourself, like u always do.!!?!

    1. You write: Definitely couldn’t have been a Bihari unless he was born in Bihar, India.

    Of course, the writer was born in Bihar.

    2. You write: Well, why did u decide to make ur readers play the guessing game.You could have said it yourself, like u always do.!!?!

    To the countless burdens I’m already afflicted with, I’ve added the onerous responsibility of educating my countrymen (well, former countrymen) beyond the names of Vijay, Ajith, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.

      Back in the day, I read one of Orwell`s short stories about his experience in the IPS in Burma ( I think it was an episode from Burmese Days. So I ventured his name.

      SearchIndia.com Responds:

      Burmese Days has some Tamil characters (Veerasamy??) in it.

      Yes, the correct answer is George Orwell, born in Motihari, Bihar.

      I recalled reading one of Orwell`s short stories about his experience in the IPS in Burma back in the day( I think it was an episode from Burmese Days).And I vaguely remembered that he was born in India! So I ventured his name…
