The Counter-Narrative (The Second Wave)
As the video reached millions, users—particularly from Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and allies against regional bias—began a counter-campaign. bihari mms scandalflv 2021
- Fact-checking: They pointed out that the video lacked a timestamp, location verification, or police verification. It could have been old, staged, or from a neighboring region.
- Calling out hypocrisy: They shared screenshots of similar violent acts from other states, asking why those never led to a statewide hashtag.
- Highlighting the "Single Story" danger: Influencers and activists referenced Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s concept of "The Danger of a Single Story"—how one clip was being used to stereotype 120 million people.
- Positive Bihari trends: They countered with hashtags like #PositiveBihar, sharing stories of Bihari entrepreneurs, civil servants, athletes (like Shardul Thakur, MS Dhoni – though Dhoni is from Jharkhand, the sentiment was related), and cultural icons.
What Was the Video?
The original video, filmed on a mobile phone, showed a young woman using a sharp object to allegedly hurt a man in a rural setting in Bihar. The audio contained colloquial Bhojpuri and Maithili dialects. The video was shared on WhatsApp and later migrated to Twitter (now X), Instagram, and YouTube.

Crucially, the video lacked context, date, and verification. It was a raw, unedited clip that appeared to show an act of violence, but no police complaint, arrest, or news report was attached to it. The Counter-Narrative (The Second Wave) As the video
The "Whataboutism" Defense
When a Bihari user pointed out that similar violence occurs in Uttar Pradesh or Maharashtra, the retort was: "But in Bihar, it's the norm." This thread in the discussion was heavily dissected by sociologist Dr. Anjali Sinha in a viral Twitter thread (July 2021):
"The problem isn't the video. The problem is that when a Bihari commits a crime, the headline reads 'Bihari man arrested.' When a Delhiite commits a crime, it reads 'Man arrested in Delhi.' The state becomes the identity only when you want to shame it."
WhatsApp University: The Misinformation Highway
WhatsApp was ground zero for the most dangerous spread. Because the videos had no context or watermark, they were renamed and weaponized.
- Fake Narrative A: The torture video was falsely captioned as "Muslims killing a Hindu in Bihar" (it was a police custody matter).
- Fake Narrative B: The dance video was cropped to remove the date, claiming it was filmed during curfew to incite hatred against the RJD.
- The Bihari diaspora effect: Bihari laborers in Kerala, Punjab, and Maharashtra reported increased social ostracism after these videos circulated on their landlords' WhatsApp groups.
Aftermath and Lessons
- No legal action was publicly recorded against the individuals in the video, further suggesting the clip was either unverified or not a serious crime.
- Social media platforms began (slowly) labeling and removing some of the most egregious regional hate speech posts, but much of the damage was done.
- The term "Bihari" became a case study in digital ethnocentrism. Many Bihari creators used the moment to produce content educating people about their state's rich history (from the Nalanda University to the Mahabodhi Temple).
Report: Analysis of the 2021 “Bihari” Viral Video and Social Media Discourse
9. Critical Observations
- Algorithmic amplification: Twitter’s algorithm promoted the most inflammatory replies (both hateful and defensive), not nuanced takes.
- Urban-rural divide: Most “anti-Bihar” tweets came from urban users in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, revealing inter-state prejudice.
- Victim absence: The woman referenced in the offensive song was never identified, yet social media users debated her honor without her consent.
- Selective outrage: Similar videos from other states (UP, Haryana, Maharashtra) did not receive the same “state-shaming” intensity, indicating a specific bias against Bihar.
