Bihari as we see even now, just doesn't get the point that you don't sell yourself and buy others to get honour and status so I am sure he was always trying too hard, one way or another to one up his brother instead of investing time in making his own friends. I am sure he even married Dehati because she was fair and pretty to one up on Saraswati. But there also, his brother won out because he got a sensible life partner while Bihari sunk further into his materialistic, moral-less pit with Dehati by his side.
As for the economic discrepancy, I am sure that VP sacrificed his own education and got the job with TTS asap to help Bihari. And Bihari never looked back to help his brother in turn.
Of course this is just my projecting the current trends onto the past. π
Sam, I think you may be right that it is a inferiority complex on Bihari's part. I was actually thinking the same of Pinky when I was trying to figure out why she behaves the way she does with Krishna at the beginning of the show. Even though Pinky is shown to have everything that she could want I think all the kids while growing up probably liked Krishna and her siblings much more. Which is exactly what was probably what happened between VP and Bihari.
As for the economic discrepancy that would make sense as well as that type of thing is normal in our families where the eldest is responsible to help educate and further his own family and siblings lives so I that is very plausible as well. Even still, I would love for them to add some background in to clear it all upπ
