People cherrypick one or two incidents of someone being called "Chinese" in Delhi and say "Ooo, India racist, I hate the people". The media dwells too much on this topic that gets the public frustrated, believing we are whiny losers that just cry all the time.

Meanwhile NE ethnonationalists have outright killed people, burned down homes and displaced hundreds of thousands. Let's not forget the Bru Reang ethnic cleansing in Mizoram where Mizo orgs forced the entire Bru Reang community out of the state. And this is from the most peaceful and rehabilitated state in the NE(other than Sikkim which never had militancy). Mizoram's ethnic homogeneity did not come through peaceful means.

Plenty of racism cases in the media are just incidents of two individuals fighting but it gets turned into a communal issue by people with an agenda. This type of pandering and mollycoddling will make people feel too much power and let them abuse the power, possibly just making fake cases of racism.

If we are to live in this country, we have to love it and love the people. We can't be parasites and dissidents all the time.

After all, let's be honest, Northeast Indians hate each other far more than mainlanders.

Let's be serious. The news just pushes too much of the narrative of "oo NE guy got called Chinki in Delhi or Mumbai". Yes, there are cases of NEs being attacked and discriminated against but they are depicted too often as if every second guy is willing to harrass and exclude you.

It doesn't help and honestly just makes Northeast Indians look like crybabies who complain all the time.

Some cases aren't even racial and the media just calls it racist for sensationalism. This allows bad people to utilize allegations of racism for power grabs and evading bad situations.

I mean, are we less racist? Outsiders too often get the short end of the stick in Nagaland and other parts of the Seven Sisters. NE ethnonationalists are more violent and exclusivistic than any mainland extremist yet no one knows.

People have gotten killed and mistreated here yet no one cares for them.

If we want to live in this country as equals we gotta let things be balanced and let the truth come out.

It has honestly gone too far. It was small and barely noticeable at first. But it has blown out of proportion.

Sure I know you all have grievances with the Centre, the policies and the bad behaviour by many migrants that enter. But that doesn't justify antagonizing the whole of the country.

People are literally making fun of mainlanders, making jokes about civillian atrocities and talking about separating from the country. How can you bite the hand that feeds you?

Not to mention, we already have the problem of "racism" cases against us that are exaggerated by the media. NEs and Axomiyas have been racist to outsiders too, but the popular media doesn't pick up on that.

Seriously, this needs to cease. I can't emphasize it enough. It doesn't make anything better. It just brings more hostility and racism towards us. And makes it unsafe for our people who are studying/working outside. How do you think North Indians will feel when they see all the offensive posts?

So stop and love this country.

Those account and trolls are probably here too, but they need to hear this. Stop what you are doing.

So many accounts have been found, promoting NE ethnic superiority, ruthlessly mocking mainlanders and shitting the entire country of India. You do realize what you are doing? You are biting the hand that feeds you.

Already, many mainlanders are getting tired of our constant complaining and cries for racism. Now you add this unneccesary hostility and unprovoked racism.

Twitter and facebook have started note of it too. Doyichi/ airfilter is the prime example. None of this is a secret anymore. Northeast Indians are racist and act bold in their areas. The word is out.

Thankfully, it's usually just trolling but some accounts go too far and start supporting violence on innocents or militancy or straight up glorify China. What was the point of all that begging for sympathy if you are like this. Let me remind you, China will not be good to us. They will flood us with their people, change our culture and not see us as equal. India is much better.

If you live in India(which 99.9% of us do) you have to love and respect the land and people. Stop this disgusting behaviour.

It's just calling for worse counter-reactions and making it more dangerous for our people in the mainland.

You already have missionaries who changed the whole cultural design of the region. And trends from all over the world get in here.

​

However, people act as if some amount of Indo-Aryan or Hindu cultural assimilation will be the end of all things. Right now, we are trying to integrate the nation and the Northeast is a part of it. How long can it remain de-industrialized and isolated?

​

Don't we need to get along?

We are all in India right now. It's inevitable there will be some mixing, be it of culture or people. We can't resist forever.

All the insurgent outfits are dying out. Insurgency as a whole is losing support. The Centre has already vowed to wipe out militancy by 2029, starting with Manipur.

Despite the reduction in violence, the strong ethnic chauvinist sentiment has not gone. Even relatively pro-India states like Arunachal Pradesh fight over ST status, APST designation and ILP. Hell, one of the main demands of the Meitei community is to gain the ST status.

History has seen violence against outsiders- Bengalis, Biharis, Marwaris, UPians, Nepalis etc. have all gotten the short end of the stick. There were large scale pogroms against Bengalis in 1980s Assam. Manipur had "Mayang Hallo" and Meghalaya had "Beh Dkhar".

The face of NE ethnic hatred can get very ugly as we can see against Manipur. Even insiders haven't been spared. Nagas vs Kukis. Internal beefing between communities in Assam. The peaceful and well-behaved state of Mizoram has mostly achieved its stability due to its homogenity, as we can see; it literally oversaw the large-scale displacement and attacks on the Bru Reang minority in 1997, whose memory is still lingering.

How long can this keep on? What will the mainlanders do when they realize how tribalistic and favouritistic Northeasterners are? What if they start demanding that we pay special tax or use extra documents to enter their lands like they have to here?

And what if they learn about the scores of massacres done against the outsiders in here by either the public or militants? Do you not think they will be angry?

We cry a lot about racism, but politically, we are more blatantly racist than them. Even now, outsiders have been extorted, attacked, kidnapped or outright killed. Tell me please. What will the future be?

Should we just start to be truly loyal citizens and dial down the ethnic chauvinism?

Can it be that even if 500 or a 1000 years pass, 2025 or 2010 will be analyzed and seen very accurately as compared to how we know 1960 or 254 A.D

Especially since we have video, audio and notes that the past didn't have?
