Ofcourse we are racist……………….. people of Delhi are racist against all other communities ………… be it South Indians, Eastern Indians or N.E. India………. I hate all form of racism.

Have you ever been in N.E. India………… particularly in Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram………………. if you are a non-tribal (non-manipuri, non-naga ….. non ethnic people) it would be tough for you to spend a single day without fear. Here in Delhi a Manipuri girl can chase a molester and handed him to police. But in N.E. don’t dare to do this the local people will kill you even if you think about this action, if not then police will put you behind the bars. Non Tribals are routinely suffering in the hands of local tribals & governments………………. that is the reason we are witnessing a mass non-tribal exodous from N.E. India to other parts of India. Situation in N.E. is same like Bangladesh where non-muslims are suffering hell lot of problems, insecurities, fear for their lives.

Please focus on N.E. racism also, bring out some news articles about N.E. racism against people from plains (rest of India).

Again being an Indian I hate all form of racism.

Coming out of the political aspect of the issue as @ajay commented, I would like to support @aakanksha and others in the stereotypical aspect of our society. The best example is @Alok Vats, who is still of the opinion that it’s the fault of north-eastern people for not mixing up with group of other regions as a reason of the problem.

I think we have never endorsed a free-society without racial discrimination or sexual harassment. In case of north-eastern women, in fact, these two together goes against them- a double discrimination. I am not sure about ‘literacy’ because being a student of Delhi University; I have seen such biased psyche. If in the university campus people call them ‘Chinks’ or ‘Nepalis’, what one would expect from far-flung areas?

Another aspect, I may put here is that regional groupism… you can find it everywhere: from politics, profession to schools and colleges. This is the main reason that north-eastern people don’t find it that easy to interact with us; it’s our part to make them comfortable by eliminating such misperceptions based on suspicion.

@Daniel Mizo, Dear Mizo, I never said that they should change their living style, rather they should mix up with us too. Why is is happen that you people mix with only the people from North Eastern region? Is it our fault?

Nice post Ajay, knowing there are people like you who abhor racism, stereotyping, discrimination etcetera help us tolerate all these things that we encounter almost everyday !!!!
@ alok vats: what about unity in diversity ? Isnt this the very reason why we are so proud to be an Indian ?
Do you really think and believe that we need/have to change our living style so to be accepted as Indian when we already are ?????!!!!!!!

We have to acknowledge certain facts about NE females

1, They are good looking
2, They are broad minded
3, They have a progressive attitute towards life.
4, They would like to dress like nicely like west

All these points only tell us that they are a liberated lot like west and not neccesarily like typical indian women who is time & again reminded to be within control & limits put by the typical indian male.

in my opinion this is the problem in place like delhi, where you get majority of typical indian male & equaly numbered typical indian female, who envy these females from NE and in order to take out thier resentment , make bad comments & similar acts.

though , not impossible but quite difficult to change.

I have seen many people making comments on them, and I really feel bad. I think the reason behind all this is that they remain separate from the normal mass. They have their own living style and they never want to change. I guess this is why they won’t be able to mix with the normal people, and the unsocial elements take benefit of all these.
