Mr Temjen Imna Along, your privilege won’t hide racism against Northeasterners | Editorial by Karma

Click here    / @eastmojoofficial   and ‘Join’ to become a part of the EastMojo family today! Former Nagaland BJP President and the state's Tourism and Education Minister Temjen Imna Along in a recent interview said that what people from the Northeast face in the rest of the country is “discrimination” and not “racism.” This editorial by Karma S Paljor explains why that statement is wrong. The Editor-in-Chief of EastMojo speaks about the everyday experiences of people from the Northeast in the rest of India while trying to make a honest living, the violence witnessed over the years and the way the people’s voices are dismissed. He also explains why political privilege cannot be used to speak for the entire region. The editorial is not about attacking one person but about reminding everyone that racism exists and ignoring it only makes it worse.
