It seems nothing has changed in
India on line of racism. The recent
killing of
Nido Taniam a 19 year old student from
North East India (Arunachal Pradesh )has again showed how
rest of India despise the physical appearance of people from North East India.
His crime is that he
got flat nose & small eyes or rather
Mongoloid look as
we happened to. When we
speak Hindi the phonetic Hindi word sound odd. This crime would have gone un-reported like many more had he happened to be from a common household.
I
still remember when I was a 5th standard student
in Delhi during 1972, I
used to be bullied by my class mates for my
physical appearance & for my
language. They then used
to consider us people as Jungalee and still they think
we are Jungalee & outsider.
The
reason so was the
policies of keeping North East India blocked from publicity & not including its presence in main Indian History text. How ever with this sad happenings the policies on governance, and writers/reporters will change towards this part of the Nation.
