The Troubled Northeast

I will continue fighting for the rights of the North-eastern people. Maybe something similar to the Blank Noise Project can be initiated, which deals with the plight of the North-east student in your city. You have the power to make the difference, my friend. The next time you see a North-east girl/guy being racially abused in public, step up. And when that victim sees somebody from the “other side” coming to his/her aid, the preconceived notion borne by most north-east students is bound to change.

With Arunachal Pradesh caught in the tug-of-war between Indian and China again, Kima looks at the larger troubled Northeast region to understand the festering ethnic clashes post-Independence and the ensuing racial discrimination in other parts of India towards people from the Northeast.
