Do We Want Progress?

History of Mithila region reveals that we were very rich in culture. The impact of rich culture can still be observed in some areas. The migration of traditional Mithila culture has rooted out the peace, progress and prosperity. The mind-set of Maithil is very orthodox. Adoption of good practice is deprived by argument. Exhibition of pseudo knowledge is very common which can be noticed at every common place. There is no dearth of learned people in Mithila but all of them are good for nothing. If we are not the part of progress in our society then we are the burden in our self. A learned person of Mithila is struggling for survival. Many of them have been migrated and also settled outside. All of them have compromised with their preconceived views on political hypocrisy. There is no doubt that visionless domestic, social & political leader has guided us. We have only tendency to blame the systems and government. There is only way to awake our self. There are several personalities among us who come forward to rescue in our creative approach. Hence, our prime & constitutional rights are to fight against poverty, population & pollution. In addition to this, our moral responsibility is also for Mithila to impact our identity, culture & language.

We belong to Mithila. We are Maithil. We love Maithili & speak tri=languages (Maithili, Hindi, English). Non-resident Maithil (NRM) and resident Maithil should come in common platform. NRM cry when they feel about their inability on capability towards progress of our region. The progress of Mithila depends upon Maithil. We Maithil are very much simple. Our simplicity is very much complicated. It has been noticed by self-general survey about attitude of Maithil, which projects as mentioned below:

Considering above fact, Maithil should explore the possibility to review our hidden strength to mobilize in regional, national & international arena. Only very few Maithil has attained the status. The eminent personalities, who have achieved some status, they do underestimate the potential of Maithil. It has been manifested from the fact that Maithil people are not less than anybody. Usually, they realize only after the incident. They are the fighters; they are pullers of the incident. Exception pertains everywhere, however, there is only feeling that Maithil can do anything if they decide. Now, the point comes when? If so, then the prejudice view has to be changed for bringing the lost qualities in streamline.

Classification of Maithil

Easy Maithil	10%	Very assertive but not creative
Average Maithil	30%	Very submissive and creative
Difficult Maithil	60%	Creative but complete ignorant and laziness

Strength of Mithila lies in art, culture, and agriculture. However, Mithila has grown in many ways such as

Above facts narrate that there could be reverse swing. There is an optimistic view for the progress. Progress in any discipline comes from bottom point by our continuous effort with positive attitude. At this situation, we have to progress. There is no other way left for us unless we change our attitude.

Mithila has tremendous potential in nine sectors. We have to be self-reliant in many ways. Cottage / small-scale industries will have the great future. We shouldn’t get upset to become entrepreneur. We need to have will – power. There are some possible ways. Only we have to think and act as per norms. Please don’t manipulate norms in our convenient ways. Struggle would be the source of satisfaction if we start. Let’s come & be the part of probable success for Mithila.
