Ha bhai
This is the reason why Northeast people prefers South rather than North.
@Salman Khan hello? Care to prove? I'm from Tamil Nadu. I have many north eastern community living in my neighborhood without any problem. To make you understand, we have successfull north eastern celebrities whereas the person from your profile picture discriminate AR Rahman for silly reason.
just because you haven't witnessed any racism towards us, doesn't mean it doesn't happen
@Lightening Emperor BMA
But it's less....
Exactly! South Indians are very open to us. I have never heard a South Indian judging us by our race
@Salman Khan wow !!! You north Indians don't respect others and are shameless to not even cover it.
If any North Eastern Indian citizen is reading this-
I would like to apologise to you people for what these ignorant people have said to you...😢😢🙁🙁
It begins in the family and schools. I still remember how a fight would break between North east people and other when the latter used to instigate the fight all the time by calling them names like "Chinkis, Chinese" . The worst part was looking back I feel the teachers were very less supportive of the North East people and racism was just passed off as a "casual fight" and both parties used to be blamed equally when the instigator was always the person calling them names. The worst stereotype was that NE people aspire to sell momos and do nothing in life and I have heard these very words from the mouth of a teacher in school. Years later it fills me with disgust how normalized it was made with almost zero consequences.
It's ok to be racist to NE. NE conveniently avoid the topic of hardships Indians (Hindus) face in NE region. Not only are Indians banned from settlement, but children of mixed marriages are viewed as bastards, Diwali and temples are banned, men are lynched for dating a tribal girl, large amount of jealousy towards hard working Indians etc.
@@Reddy26 It is not okay to be racist to ANYONE, LYNCHING is not okay, IGNORANCE is not okay. We can't complain about others' behaviour without improving our own. BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD -----Gandhi
@@Priya3 we hate Gandhi and his policy he's reason why india goes this backwards we don't need to be secular and always be santani and to make india a hindu rashtriya and who ever oppose this is a hurdle and should be treated according to his ways
@@psychoperson1529 I am happy that your username justifies your personality, you are very self aware.
I'm from northeast and I can't breathe in Delhi.
💔😔
I'm sorry to hear that brother
really sorry to learn about that. I hope we get more aware of issues like racism and things improve fast.
PPL from other states also face racism in NE,sometimes they r also stabbed
@@papacomments3559 south indians are racist towards north Indians too😂
We must all come together and speak up for our North east Brothers and sisters and stop this discrimination as soon as possible.
Its just a tit for tat. These tribal north easterners do the same, in their respective states, to the non tribals or mainland indians. They do not even hesitate to kill mainlanders. I am a non tribal from north east and I had seen many such things against our people here all my life, so whatever is happening out there with them is just their own karma...
@@rahulpaul8761 You obviously are a bengali. And if you claim you live in the northeast and you have seen such cruelty towards your people, I wonder why there are so many Bengalis is northeast India. The tribal people act suspicious towards you because they have seen the fate of other non tribal indigenous, whose rights are stolen by your people. If you had faced what we northeastern people face in other states of Indian, you wouldn't be thriving so well in the northeast. You have already stolen a northeastern state from its indigenous, and half of another northeastern state.
@HIMANSHU KUMAR So counter Paul's points then, since he openly endorses racism against northeastern people. And I urge you to go through my comment again, it's not about fighting of states, it's about his false claims about north east India and how his people are treated here.
@@navaneetbaruah9411 i wonder y u wonder there r bengalis in NE. Ppl who r living for generations cannot just leave one day and settle elsewhere bcoz of some atrocities. Ppl living in war areas of Irag or syria or afghanistan do not leave their places of origin just like that until its a life threat. U assamese guys haven't face any kind of threats or atrocities in ur own places( living or working) bcoz ur areas didn't got divided during partition. To understand my point of view u shud ask some punjabi, or others who faced such things in punjab, rajasthan, gujrat, j & k. U hav no idea what it feels to know one morning that u can no longer live in ur house/home and moreover ur country. One good thing that happen with ppl coming to punjab, gujrat, rajasthan and delhi is that they were welcome by the ppl there wholeheartedly but we weren't so lucky. Assamese ppl hate us bcoz u guys have that language inferiority with us. But still we r living and thriving better than u so called indigenious NE ppl bcoz we know the art of how to "live and let live", in harmony.
@@rahulpaul8761 No we do not have language inferiority but it's because you have shown your true colours where you want to establish your language and culture in the state. 1837 and the 1970s are just a few examples where you have shown your true intentions. There is another state called west bengal where you could have lived, but instead more and more of you are settling here and want to make it a majority. Not to mention your "chalo paltai schemes". People like Garga chatterjee openly writing racist articles about Assamese people and our historical figures, denigrating our history, that all goes to show your malafide intent towards us. And you are not thriving because of your belief in " live and let live", it's because you have perfected the art of usurping things that rightfully belongs to others. During partition and during Bangladesh war no other state had given you asylum except Assam and Tripura, and how do you repay that gesture of humanity and kindness.
Missed your reporting brother... We need to teach ourselves more about our nation

This does not happen in TamilNadu, since North East Indians are one of the friendliest people in our country.
Lol. Tamilian are racist too.
Kyu Jhoot bol rha h bhai...
Why are you lying?
Racism is everywhere pal.. look around closely... no state will go scot-free
South India doesn't Have racism lol
In TN you're either Tamil or outsider. It's simply that
I am from Uttarakhand and in my earlier school all my teachers were from Nagaland ( North East ) and I like them all very much and were good in nature. 😀
i studied and stayed in dehradun for about 5 years,i can easily say one of the safest place,well mannered people i have met specially the locals,never face any sort of any major descrimination but rarely small ones,which was also very mild. i just hope Uttarkhand remains the same way as it is next time i visit,lots of student,freindly environment and places to visit plus the weeather is pretty good,a good place if u want to study or retire
@Manny Blackstar i feel you,most NE people stay in their own group mainly cause of cultural differences,they are more exposed to western cultures rather than mainland culture so its kinda difficult so try to understand their pov but not everybody is the same
well north indian states like UP , Bihar , Delhi are already world famous region for poor governance
@@phulen7681 if you're from North East, it may be because we look similar in terms of features. I'm from Uttarakhand as well.

I lived in delhi , i am from Chhattisgarh , Delhi local don't know where Chhattisgarh is , they confuse it with Jharkhand
Once i said to a local property dealer that Jharkhand is in Chhattisgarh , and they believed it .
😁😂😆
You were in better place. When I was in tamilnadu, many didn't know where Jharkhand is. They were unaware of it's existence. But they knew MS Dhoni very well.
I am from CG too. And people who knows about its location says ooooohhhhh NAXALites........
And when I say jharkhand that confuse it with Bihar
@@sakibafzal7297 everyone knows Dhoni but not Jharkhand. maybe Dhoni comes from heaven for every match and then go back.

I really thank ‘the print’ and ‘the quint’ for always covering issues relating to northeast 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I don't understand why do they have to discriminate them, like I have my friends from northeast India and I feel that they are the most amazing people I have ever met. They have so modern thinking which is just amazing. I think we should learn from them. They are simply just amazing. I love them from the bottom of my heart 💖.
Sending love to all my northeast friends from Jammu and Kashmir.
😊
Are apna reporter bhai is back
👍
This is called real issue and we need a media like this
I'm from Delhi and I know this is true. A very sad thing which I'm ashamed of. North east is the most beautiful and peaceful part of our country. And you are right there should be strict laws against racial discrimination otherwise people are not going to change.
Disturbing. I born and brought up in Delhi my few friends are from manipur and nagaland. Trust me they are the most friendly people in country. They welcome me in family like their own kids
We barely can deal with Casteism, and now Racism too has started.
(For the people who are gonna reply Casteism doesn't exist just type dalit on Google and then go to News tab I guess it may open your eyes)
What do you mean bro India was and is racist country
Bhen, rascism abhi thodi start hua hai. Aap kis rock ke neeche rehte hai
Racism always existed in this country, the only difference is that earlier it was more like a casual thing (which still happens) but now people have acknowledged a term for it. Therefore, racism did not start a year ago or so.
It has started getting documented

Being in army family is totally a different thing my father is also in the army ,we are from Bihar
In today's world only army know unity but the normal citizen just do racism
Fact is North Eastern have better knowledge of our Indian geography. Whenever name of cities come up like Vellore, Hyderabad, Lucknow we all know in which part of India these cities are not like "Ya kaha pe parta h?? Passport lagta h waha jaane?? "

Nice reporting
Thank you for making a video on this topic.
I’m Anglo Indian, my boyfriend is half Chinese. He is the nicest man I have ever met!
Thanks for reporting this. Hope the Indian Government in general and the Delhi government, in particular, will take necessary steps to make sure that our Northeast brothers and sisters do not have to go through such terrible experiences anywhere in the country and especially in the capital. This is such a shame :(
His doing the best thing. his actually showing the menatality of our fellow indian citizen, and it's very dangerous.
I had a friend in my last school and she was from Tripura. She didn't understand Bengali language too well and people in my class would always mock her and treat her the worst way. I remember I was her only good friend in the class. There was another friend of hers in a different section. No one else considered her as one of us and always mistreated her. She's always quiet, funny, creative and very nice and respectful

This is the harsh reality we should eradicate this by educating the people about different cultures of our country.
Brother it is not about education...mizoram has 2nd highest literacy rate...but just come for a while to mizoram and u will know how the locals treat the MAINLAND INDIANS...
@@cxr9vlogs388 Literacy rate can't be a parameter to judge people's level of empathy and acceptance of others.
Newsance(newslaundry) and your reporting(The Print), are my most credible source of news from internet
It is sad that most of our countrymen are ignorant of not only others but also our own culture of acceptance. The Delhi police (and other cities as well) and the politicians (useless to mention them) need to enforce zero tolerance on any discrimination. More power to the NE Indians and anyone who is discriminated- stand strong and we will overcome!
Brother Shahbaz make more videos.
You are one of few reporters who shows real issue.
We missed you
The worst thing is when they say, even police is the same. Heartbreaking.
Sir, you are great and thanks for give us the real report . 👍👍👍👍👍
it is really heartbreaking 🙁

Do northeast people in general discriminate against lower caste people in India? I'm just asking.
I am Sorry to all my friends from North-East
0:37 hmm jennie's hairstyle 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤭🤭
Was wondering the same
This has been & still an issue... this issue has been brought up however people have still been so ignorant , & they want to claim that India is a diverse & developed democratic Country ? I don't understand, & still wondering when will our people country change . Our own brothers from north east are fighting alongside Indian soldiers in the Indo China border..... A strict law should be imposed for the ignorant people . This is not acceptable. Much appreciated for bringing up the issue in the public forum . Hoping for better India .
Damn.. They speak so well..
This Is Really Sad🤐
I feel like a tourist in my own country 😄.
So Sad... 😟😟😟😟
Awaited along for u r vedio
Long time brother...good to see you back from Shillong.
Im from northeast i heard racism alot to Northeast but to be honest i hv been staying at South more than 6 years i never experienced racism even once .... whether at office,home, streets anywhere.....sorry for all my brothers and sisters who had faced emotional racism !..
That's my friend 'Along' a very good Drummer and yes ofcourse he's a Music Teacher in one of the school @Delhi. .. ...
Declare Shahbaz national treasure !
Please bring more and more and more of such videos!
Thanks to the print.
that's a really good point.
I'm to proud to Indian..i also get goosebumps when our country wins any award or when i watch cricket but because this sort of discrimination i have never fully considered myself as an Indian...while leaving in delhi our landowners treat us as if we r staying there for free..they rise rents abruptly..just imagine i was compelled to sleep in my rented house for around one month without fan evn though i told my house owner to fix it he didn't pay heed...we r charged extra for grocery items,auto fare..i do sometime quarrel with them for all these problem but how long we keep complaining right..there is a limit to everything..we may be backward in terms of infrastructure but not mentally...i left my job last year as an engineer...i promised myself that i will never return to this city again...I'm not saying that northeast people r not racist ...kabhi kabhi hum log ka jaga main bhi hota hai but there people around to help the person who is facing discrimination...its easy to say for a main landers to say that discrimination r everywhere but i don't agree with that..everyday is a struggle...i have no job right now and I'm really depressed but i will find a job somewhere but i all never go out of NE,never ever in my life......

Just happy that u r back again
I am from N.E and Racial Discrimination is also present here... People from few N.E states racially discriminates people of other states... "DAKAR", "BONGAL" ,"BIHARI (in a offending manner) , "Paya" are few adjectives used here .. So yes, the Racial Discrimination what they feel in Mainland India is almost similar to what few of them offer to people from Mainland Indians.
Dude how do people discriminate north east Indians.. I would be so happy to have a NE friend. To y’all from NE.. Y’all are Kawaii af❤️
Really 😥 sad
These North East Indians are very good looking.

shahbaz, you r doing very good work, just discovered you today on YT, the topic of racism against northeast is very close to my heart, our ne brothers and sisters are absolutely right but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
There is a huge need for a law of racial discrimination it will just not help the east indians but to everyone who is black in skin colour, different body types,etc..some times we ignore it in India we think it doesn't occur in India but if u go in deeper levels of society u will definitely find it on a huge scale.
Love from Manipur
India is so diverse we need to teach every Indian about India and its beauty.
Btw north east also includes Assam not just Manipur and Nagaland, most people in the rest of India who are a little aware of what is north east, will only refer to such states and forget completely about Assam.
Delhi is the city where multiple culture people live didn't expected this there
Thank you for covering about racism on northeast people and yes this is a harsh reality
We all are Indian please be united don't Discrimination with other
This guy needs to be praised a lot.
💔
After a long time u r back. R u ok now?
As an Indian football fan, I know so much about northeast, obviously more than an average Indian would know. Indian schools should teach about the diversity we have so that there won't be such ignorance. Even those who discriminate should be rehabilitated by government
Serious lack of moral ethics n civic sense... schools should focus more on inculcating values morals.. For more healthy society
