“Stop Calling Us Chinky and Chinese” North East Students Share Their Experiences | The Quint

In this episode of 'Janab Aise Kaise?', people from North East India living in Delhi share the racism and “othering” they face in everyday life because of their looks, language and identity. Students from Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur talk about being called slurs like “Chinky” and “Chinese”, being mocked for their facial features and facing harassment in public spaces. The report also looks at the larger issue of discrimination against people from the North East and recalls cases like the killing of Tripura student Angel Chakma in Dehradun. Through these personal stories and ground reporting, the video highlights how racism continues to affect many North East Indians and why there is a need for greater awareness, respect and acceptance of India’s diversity. #NorthEastIndia #RacismInIndia #StopRacism #Discrimination #Othering #NorthEastStudents #Delhi #IndiaDiversity #AngelChakma #JanabAiseKaise #TheQuint From exposing misinformation to delivering impactful human rights reporting, our newsroom has relentlessly pursued stories that drive change.
