According to a study conducted by a help & support center, 86% of North East Indian communities face racial discrimination living in Delhi for period of two years and more. A random sampling size was used and hence result is unbiased. New comers, who are less than two years in national capital, tensely said “No” on racial discrimination faced by the north east communities, while 86% of those who are two years and more, face discrimination for the reason of their difference in looks, cultures, languages and being outsiders.
The other 14% said that they did not face racial discrimination but felt people calling them chinkies, Nepalis, free culture and strangers, which they did not consider racial discrimination. Also, half of those who said that they did not face racial discrimination (14%) lived in Delhi less than 2 years. Bemused by their outlook, the study’s analysts explain that the longer one stays in national capital, reveals the racial discrimination faced by the north easterners. The study also reveals the possibilities that the longer the one stays, the higher the chance to face racial discrimination. For example, they would have seen physical attacks, sexual assaults and vulgar remarks. Other less common discriminating acts are eve teasing, landlord harassment, police harressment, employer harressment, and even media vulgarity towards north easterners.
The interest of the majority population cannot rule over the minority’s interest unless it has its own justification. Just because they look different from the rest of the majority population is not an adequate justification. This issue of racial discrimination faced by its own citizen of the country cannot be less cared. It affects the country’s status, giving others the impression that discriminating Indians at their countries is acceptable too. It also affects the stability of the country to a small extent, when this discriminated minority determines to retaliate against the racial attacks, opening the society to more unwarranted troubles. Lamentably, in India, the scope of participants involved in the racial attacks includes unequal employment opportunity, unfair treatment from society and the police. The media is also on the side of the majority, and thus we could be certain that there would be people who are determined to stand up from their own cause – to end racial discrimination in India.
