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'.
