1)Indian citizens from the North East states are still called “Chinese”, “Chinky”, “Japanese”, “Koreans” or “Nepalese.”

2)North East students living in the Capital city of India had to actually ask their landlords or hostel warden, “What smell is allowed to cook and what is not?”

3)Pubs, restaurants and discotheques in Delhi showing no entry to people from the North East of India? The grim situation does not care even if you have money. They care about your colour. You bear the Mongoloid look and the door is closed before you. So don’t be surprised when those bouncers did not let you in.

4)Due to the colour of their skin, girls and women from the North East were popularly believed and supposed to be an “easy” and “cheap” sex prey. They were victimized lot.

5)Indians from the North East of India were not allowed to enter to eat and dance in one of the city’s public places during one of their visit to Delhi. Colour of their skin was already used to decide them to be a customer or not.
