What about the racism that mainland Indians encounter in the northeastern states (with the honourable exception of Assam)?
The only two communities in northeast India which don’t discriminate against Indians from other states are the Assamese and the Bengalis.
Every single tribal community in the northeast denigrates and demonises the non-tribal residents.
Be it Nagaland or Mizoram or Meghalaya, the non-tribal is the victim of xenophobia fueled violence and discrimination. But nobody wishes to talk about this issue.
