People from northeast India often face discrimination because of their ethnic links to Myanmar and China. Recently, a 19-year-old student from the region was murdered in the capital New Delhi because of his race. Al Jazeera’s Faiz Jamil reports from Bengaluru.

I am form Uttarakhand thervare many north east people like nagas manipuris live here but they do not face any racial discrimination here . The main problem with the people of up Haryana Delhi and Bihar because of illiteracy and dominance
China is 10000 times develop than india
Sorry but racism in Bengaluru is fake, no one has ever been racist with me.
Who consider u assamese as northeast indians. We called ourselfs as northeast indians apart from east indians coz of unique culture and appearance but u assamese curry people have same culture,appearance n food habits like mainland indians thats y racism with assamese r very less
@ML Player we don’t have same food habits and culture
We too hear abay abay tum log….every one faces discrimination coz we are a racist country
Ok
Yes for me now 2019 india is racist country,don’t give fools reason, educate the civilians or clans there
My friend’s brother call me “chinese didi” and I just let them. Because whats the point of explaining. We cant keep fighting to be accepted by those ignorant mainland people.
So I just let them call me that.
Even though I originate from Manipur.
Racism is everywhere and no matter what we do ,they will never accept us as their own.
No
I love North East INDIAN people
I am a guy from Assam (Kalita caste), I have Aryan features with extremely fair skin. I had to face racism in South India coz I looked like a North Indian. I faced racism in arunachal and Nagaland coz I looked like a mainland Indian. Never faced racism in the US and Canada coz I am good looking and I have a natural American accent. I feel more at home in Mumbai than in guwahati coz I look so different than a stereotypical North Eastern.
@convado deltaro19 same bro
So sad to the northeasteners,, the truth is your beautiful than them,, they are a DISGRACE of India,,they don’t know hw to respect tsk tsk tsk!
Fear of competition from China might have something to do with racism.
These same North Easterners would have some problems in China as their skin tend to be darker. What it looks like is they share some of their ancestry with the much darker indians.
Racism is every where.. Even in the northeast… It’s created by lack of opportunity when some one from different place then yours threts to take up mojarity of the jobs and business..
I love north east people. They looks so beautiful.♥️
Are you out of mind we hindus are beautiful people in whole world you probably not see hritik roshan kareena Kapoor
@sahil Raghuwanshi and then there is a local Ramesh who looks like a drug addict died twice.
@CIA BETA Wing please listen this song 👉 wajha tum ho
sahil Raghuwanshi 😂 lol.
They are not that good without makeup or facilities
Because we are not Indians
Most indian face the rascism to their own indian people, becz of the cast system. So they hate them self. They have no God in their heart. Their mind is like a ghost town
They don’t like how the north east ppl dress but they admire and worship USA. How do USA ppl dress then?
Fight for independence. This is your country.
Northeast were never conquered by indian we became apart of india after british rule by force not by choice.
I am from NE India, guwahati Assam. I did my entire schooling from ukg to 4th year btech NIT TRICHY in South India. Not once have I felt that I was an outsider. I lived and loved my Tamil, Telugu friends. Everytime I got back from my holidays in college I used to take the early morning bus from city to Nit Trichy campus, I looked at the people and I always felt that these are my people, I always made sure to help the busy Tamil traders carry heavy vegetables into the bus. I look at them and all I saw and felt that they were MY PEOPLE.
Don’t portray the entire India as anti ne. We gave our blood during Japanese invasion of India in Nagaland, Assam regiment. I would gladly give my life for India. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
अल जजीरा तो हिन्दू विरोधी मीडिया है
Never been to India but I found the Northeast girls more attractive than the rest .
These South Indians are bullshitting..Btw Lots of Love from EAST INDIA TO NE INDIA.. From Orissa
I also look like u guys and people of my village use to call me Chinese and Nepali
1:36 note how the educated man rightly points out the kind of people that are racist. And then we get to see two filthy locals making such comments. The first guy is a rickshaw driver and the second one is a lowlife Nike sales worker. Now, no job or profession should be considered small or inferior but honestly, they are the exact kinda people that fit into the the category of people mentioned before.
We must not complain but fight to stop racism…… An if any molestation happen physicaly dnt stop on him, make ur target a visible..
Now the mainland Indian started calling us ” coronavirus ” after the pandemic that started in wuhan. Which ofcourse is way too stupid and mediocre of them considering the label quite on that context.
guess what, north wale shitholes zyada marenge lol
Just today there is a news of northeastern students being harassed in Kolkata . I have the video ,I can send it to you ! We are discriminated always , we have to face rasicm when we’re out of our state region !
Dressed not appropriately? Which is more revealing Sari or Jeans/T-shirt?
lols exactly. they reveal their belly button most of the time. but we never comment on it cause we respect their culture.
@Jenny’s Cradle hmm fellow alvinophile
Racism is systemic and if the caste system is not racism then what is racism.
The auto guy who is talking dress revealing is blind to the belly and cleavage exposure especially in South India who wear Sari.
that’s actually true
I think North East we need new country from India………
People are useless! Useless idiots.
We are facing so much problem here in outside of northeast India. …. If we say in reply thy will beat up n some many northeast pple lost their life
Cll them Pakistani…. 😉
Indian pple are making fun of Corona ….
*I have just faced racism, the guy was speaking very rude to me saying I’m chinese, I’m really scared, I’m from meghalaya but right now I’m in kolkata , i called the police but the lady was speaking in bengali i explained to her in english but then she hang up the phone*
Modi is busy in politics! ! Take care pple
In America they will call the same black indian…
North eastern never be excepted as Indian.
Why?? The real irony is that mainland indians are Asians who don’t look asian?? …jokes on you boi
Stfu! What inappropriate dresses? Your culture like sarees, salwar are more revealing…. Revealing your fat blotted belly, and back… Was this not amount to revealing? Well this is speaking about the ladies and about the man, we are better hygienic and maintained than you poor lowlife racist people…
Many indian thinks that wearing Saree is sanskar …Huh, My foot Saree is the most transparent/open dress , and whatever we wear it’s our wish if u can’t see than close your two eyes haha…Sorry..
Delhi peoples and some other south Indian people’s alway have discrimination with North-eastern people of India, we look different, our culture, our food and so on.
They are jealous of us actually.
India try to project its soft & good image threw state paid media & bollywood movies, however its Sooper Racist and full of hatered toward other comunities..
I think Indians should Racialy discriminate the virus too..
It’s not Indian I mean.. It has to go away..
Now my Indian people are addressing us as corona !!! Very disappointed 😔
Those people who call the north east people Chinese . They are not Indian they are Pakistani.why ?? Because they are making fun of their brothers and sisters living here in India . remember not only the north east people visit Mumbai or Delhi . You are also visiting the northeast it might not be you who knows it might be your family so be careful with your words.we are indian
NE ppl brought that upon them they themselves use the words like we and INDIANS or mainland ..or blatantly accuse entire region for the action of few if they blame all the people then we INDIANS r doing the same then y the hue and cry…in india we have a sying u cannot clap with just one had..NE people r equally imp for this coz they themselves do not respect local ppl or the place they go and always play VICTIM card.. believe even in 2020 the racism is still there why is that so?? Its high time for NE people too to introspect coz ppl like ME too feel discriminated when they badmouth all indians something that i have not done to them
I love north east….. 😍🇮🇳
Yes… I agree some ignore people in mainland discriminate northeastern but at the same time we the NE people should also learn their culture and language
the way dt 2 guys said we dnt dress properly …it doesn’t mean we dress jst inner clothes …it’s our nature.. who u r too check our dress beh..
Better separate another country 😡😡😡🤬
It’s been 7 years. Its Nido Tania not taniam.
Not hating just correcting.
Don’t blame to illiterate ,there are tons of literate who are same
They are very racist,surprising same racist Indian when they reached in North America they had complaining about victim of racism.🤖
Muslim are creating distance between Hindus through marathi UP Bihari GUJRATI North East etc propaganda . I am asking one question that why Muslim are creating problems in Assam and other north east India. They want to divide India for their own benefit. One day India will become Malaysia where hindu are minority.
I just wanna strangle those people commenting on the way we dress. If you will come and visit the northeast, the way you dress is also inappropriate. but guess what? no one will care, because we respect people’s culture and we are educated contrary to your beliefs.
All are same they also do sam think in there state like they call people hareng or used bonti they think bonti was a worker how work home for another person but in assam its mean that sis..
We dressed that way coz that is the way we dresses in NE…. Please remember India is a country with vast diversity n multiculture….. . renember u r not the only one having culture…
Unfortunately It’s true….. Some people are racist in India…
That’s the reason I don’t like to be a part of Indian
me too I am from PUNJAB & a SIKH & dude atleast you guys are not portrayed as JOKERS
@Amandeep Singh not portrayed as jokers but we feels insecure with our own country
I just watch the video wtf who dont dress appropriately….😂😂whhhhattt on earth are you talking about you people wear saree showing your big fat tummy reaveling your tities shape from all angles to the nipples and you people are calling US of not dressing appropriately i am out…..BYE EARTH …….🚶♀️🚶♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Does India deserve North east.?
Kanataka iss nothing
NE not chinese look, chinese are cosmetic looks.
Mohan das karam Chand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) went to South Africa 4 studies there he faced discrimination and racism from there started the freedom struggle through non -violence and our country caught independence from British rule, but alas after 73 years of independent India we the North Easterns are still have to face discrimination and rasicm
dear friend everything you read in school does not means its true.
The only reason BRITISH left india becoz WW2 CRIPPLED their economy. India was given DOMINION STATUS by british in early 1930’s….
All i can say is love to BODO People ..stay safe & blessed🙏🏻
love to MANIPURIS ( all tribes) & NAGA , BODO PEOPLE from PUNJAB ..You guys are AWESOME 🤘🏻🤘🏻
India is a dump though
They Talk very bad to us……
Hello guys please write down in Hindi so that every people can understand so many peoples only know Hindi in India ..ek baat bolna dress badlna Tu pehile Jo saree laga ke ada kamar aur Pura pat duniya ko dekha tevhai na band karo useke baat Jo bhi bolna bolo
IT’s funny how other countries makes fun of different race, when in fact, over here in America, (and i know it wrong) but we make fun of India 7/11 “wood yuu like a beef herky”. Seem like racist exist everywhere, but yes definitely the lower/poorer/uneducated ones are the ones that does this type of things.
india is high racism without latrine🤣🤣
There are many mainland Indians in the NE too. I met an incident where a drunk guy was racially abusing a Bihari in Manipur. But the public bystanders help in favour of the Bihari! Which will not happen if a NE people get abused in mainland India, the public bystanders will join the abusers too! Yes, I’ve seen such incident in Delhi, even though the NE guy did nothing wrong!
People in India is still are not educatilee
This is stupid.
India
expection: Land of diversity
Reality : Land of racism
Ooo feel sorry for them😢😢😢
North east indains ppls r nice ppls than rest of india
I studied in blre,am basically from southern karnataka
Students were there from all parts of India
I have seen students from northeast calling South Indian students who are darker in skin complexion as African,Kali etc
Will northeast people accept people with darker complexion as equally in their land?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!??
It’s just my observation
Kindly do not mistreat north easterns in mainland India and north eastern peoples you donot mistreat the non tribals in your state .
Donot do bad with non tribals who are living in North Eastern States and
Donot do bad with the north easterns in mainland India . Justice should be on both sides not just one way traffic .
Seperate country we meed kitna candle march karogoe
John Ly..you don,t seem to be helping at ALL.where did the Wuhan virus come from your granny home…
Daisy..say..Aryans..go..back to Iraq.
I don’t know why this happens 😧NE people look more cuter than us.. 💕
Just come and visit north east.then you may understand.,that what is meant by human nature and also don’t forget to check crime rates of north east…..
It’s time to demand our own country United States of North East
Lol the mannequin be getting some Indian stares
I don’t find this surprising. Just take a look at how North Indians view us Sri Lankans. That’s the reason why I boycotted Bollywood (epicenter of racism) and I decided only to visit Peaceful states like Kerala, North East Indian states and To Bodh Gaya for Pilgrimage since I’m a Buddhist. This video just ruined my entire day.
The reporter trying to fake accent was actually sounding like a girly gay guy..
i’m from north east india too
a country who are racist against their own people , is that one great country?
Naga people are really kind and good
But Manipuri are not good as compare to naga
Gordon Ramsey- I need more turmeric in my Chicken curry mate!!
This is why we want freedom from india and it racisim.
I have friends from north east… This problem is still on the rising.. Rather than resolved… They are being verbally abused all the time… Its just so sad that they have to protest for their own rights… Just because some uncivilized idiots doesnt understand the value of humanity…
Tai ahom
This is fake news and propoganda by fair skinned Iranian woman concubine loving turko racist, Many North Eastern Indians are racist towards black skinned Indians
Indians are jealous of north indians because they look glamorous and fashionable than them
The most racism country in the world india..
They are just jealous of how we’ll we dress 😜 leave it just ignore them
I love my NE brothers and sisters. I hate racism and any form of partiality. But here are some opposite views on what i think is missing from our brothers and sisters from the NE.
Please try to integrate yourself more with people from other parts of India. I remember when a person from north India comes to South, he bring sweets from the north and vice versa – see how the north and south developed closeness. Our brother and sisters from the NE should understand this relationship. Please move out more, migrate more, integrate more, make friends more.
Further, develop your state and your industries (tourism, etc.) that people may throng to your states. Your states are already so beautiful – please make use of it.
North Indians love south indian food and south Indians love north Indian food. Please open more restaurants for NE food across india.
Please send your children for education to the many universities in India (south or north). Don’t just restrict them in your homes and farms.
Let your children rise in ranks in offices and their jobs. E.g. why is it so rare that we see any person from the NE at a high company position? Come on guys make yourself known – make an impact.
I believe there are many more such points that my friends from NE can think and ponder about.
I hope you take this positively. You are not just Indians, but you are our pride.
These ppl should stand up against Indian brahamic imperialism and raise up weapons against the bastards and take help from their ethical brothers in China and Nepal.😇😇🇵🇰🇵🇰😇😇
I don’t see anything wrong with there dressing,
Why would you want to remain a part of a racist country run by a racist leader?
This is really interesting. It’s interesting to see how racism is in non European countries
