That’s interesting that north eastern face racism with the rest of their Indian brethren, lots of foreigners come and visit India and they are treated very well, so how come Indians don’t mistreat foreigners like kohei or mayo but all of a sudden they have a seething hatred for north eastern Indians? It doesn’t add up, Indians aren’t racially bias, observe how they treat foreigners, lots of foreigners come to india and respect india and are very well assimilated into Indian culture, so how come Indians don’t have trouble with them? Well?

The problem was that the world was not as globalised as it is now. People did not had mobile phones or access to internet then. But now situation is changed, everyone has Google maps installed in their phone, people now visit North-East more often, people now can learn about its unique and great culture through the web, interact with people online on social media platforms, show solidarity in times of grief and rejoice together on moments of happiness. And that is why I believe access to technology and education is must for every citizen of our country. I graduated from IIT Guwahati this year and I loved the people of Assam during my 4 year stay at Guwahati, also visited in nearby states of Meghalaya and others on trips and explored the diverse multi-lingual and multi-cultural heritage we share.
