These YouTubers are simply the latest iteration of a racism so normalised that it erupts predictably whenever Northeast India enters national headlines.
The BJP MP wrote on X that YouTubers, media influencers, Facebook journalists, & unemployed journalists should be probed to see if they are also 'conniving' with 'foreign powers'.
Protection is subject to Allahbadia joining probe & staying away from 'India’s Got Latent'. SC asked his counsel how obscenity would be defined in a society following 'self-evolved values'.
Out on bail Manish Kashyap spent nine months in prison for fake videos claiming Bihari migrant labourers were attacked in Tamil Nadu. The jail time has only seasoned the YouTuber as a politician.
Hindi-language YouTuber Dhruv Rathee went from a travel vlogger to leading ‘political influencer’ within a few years. Now he’s launching YouTube channels in 5 different Indian languages.
TVF has cracked the code for what viewers want. It makes feel-good shows that speak to middle-class India’s dreams such as clearing the UPSC and owning a home.
Rosneft, the Russian state-owned oil behemoth, has large interests in India. Reliance has a contract to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude per day from the firm.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
People should be ashamed if they are consuming dog meat and insects. Consumption of wildlife meat is prohibited by law.
Being sexually active before the age of 18 is unacceptable. The law treats this as a rape and the boy/man can be jailed.
Ms. Kaur’s lame attempt at justifying the unjustifiable is sad and disappointing.
Thank you for writing this. I grew up in the NE. It has its problems but overall the people are friendly and law-abiding, unlike North Indians. When I moved to North India for work, I was shocked at the misogyny and prejudice. Racism and misogyny are very real in India.
Vishnoi, Sahu and others are not creating content out of thin air. They are depicting the reality of tribal majority states of northeast India.
A “culinary culture which includes dog meat, snakes, rats and insects” is sure to make any human being feel dizzy. It’s sure to churn the stomach of anyone. Some may even puke at the very idea.
A “sexually active under-18 girl” does not have agency, Ms. Kaur. A self-certified and self-celebrated over-the-top “feminist” like you must be able to understand this. An under-18 girl who is sexually active is simply a victim of sexual abuse. The police must look into the issue and nab the rapists and child molesters.
As far as headhunters in Nagaland is concerned, is it not a fact of life/history? Can you say with conviction that this is a fabricated story designed to malign the Nagas?
Learn to accept the truth for what it is. It may or may not offend your ideology and politics. But just because your sentiments are hurt, doesn’t make it a lie. It remains the truth.
I have lived long enough in the northeast to know whether what is being said/shown is true or false.
