The irony is not lost on anyone.
When mainland Indians visit the north-east, either as tourists or because of job postings, they experience first-hand the deeply entrenched racism and hatred from the native tribes. The tribal societies of rhe north-east are xenophobic by default and this results in frequent instances of violence targeting “outsiders” (i.e. non-tribals).
The very same tribals, when visiting mainland India, either as tourists or students or professionals, decry racism targeted at them. They portray themselves as saints of non-violence and progressive values. Yet a short visit to their home state would expose their lies and deceit.
