Youths from Northeast need to be UNITED

                People from the north eastern region of India are often discriminated against in various parts of the country. Nobody can say about the reason behind this. The unique physical appearance, linguistic division and cultural differences may be the reasons. The discrimination is not only in the case of any competition, there is a feeling of hatred against these people of north east everywhere in those parts of the country. Girls from the north east region are teased as ‘Chinki’. This teasing nickname ‘Chinki’ now has become stereotyped for the north eastern girls. Another important fact is that the capital city Delhi has now become the most unsafe place for the women basically for the north eastern girls. According to the study conducted by the North East Support Centre and Helpline, 86% of north east Indian communities living in Delhi has social discriminations as many as 41% cases handled by the centre dealt with sexual abuse.Though many youths from this region have achieved their desired goals in the national and even international level and there are many positive developments among the youths of this region, the discrimination still has been existing there. 

               Now, dragging another topic here, within this region, what are we doing? Fighting among ourselves for the name of patriotism? Many of us demanding separate states. When there is the same problem of discrimination, among all the people of north eastern states, then why we are not united? Why we are not able to break the barriers of this differentiation between us and the people from other parts beyond the chicken neck? It is because we are not united and we are maintaining a distance between each other. Sometimes, it is looked like there is no more brotherhood or sisterhood among these seven sisters states. We are replacing fraternity by separation. Without conducting any revolution for separating ourselves from the mainstream, can’t we develop ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually? Of course we can. Instead of doing separation from the mainstream, we can definitely do one thing. It is that lots of funds use to come from the Central Government for the development of this region. But we can see only few developmental works have been achieved. Where does those money use to go?  To divulged a scandal is not only the task of the police, CBI or the journalists. Anyone can do this too. Let us fight with the weapon RTI (Right to Information Act).
