Three young women were subjected to racial slurs on 22 February over a dispute while installing an AC at their third-floor rented apartment in Malviya Nagar.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
Just like Tina Das, Hauzel stops just short of the most important thing — the two-way bridge. Yes, Delhi residents need to shed their ignorance. Yes, curricula must include the Northeast. Yes, regional governments have failed their youth spectacularly. All true.
But nobody says what needs to be said plainly: Bharatiyata — genuine shared Indian identity — cannot be policy-decreed or guilt-tripped into existence. It has to be lived, built through ordinary daily familiarity. That requires both sides making the effort.
The structural diagnosis is correct. The Rs 6.50 lakh crore channelled into the Northeast with so little to show in jobs or world-class institutions — that is the real scandal hiding behind Ruby Jain’s ugliness.
But Hauzel, like Das before her, names the wound beautifully and then quietly exits. No tools. No blueprint. Just an eloquent indictment.
The Northeast’s youth deserve more than periodic outrage cycles that fade in a week. They deserve unglamorous, sustained institutional work — better universities at home, real jobs, genuine curriculum reform, and yes, a national conversation that goes both ways.
Name the wound. Then pick up the tools.
Ps: We need problem solvers and solution proponents not agony aunts .
