Abusive article with hatred towards people from North East
- Article "Murder Most Foul" in Deccan Herald by Ambika Shukla -

" Following article appeared in Deccan Chronicle paper today (July 15, 2008) by Ms. Ambika Shukla "Murder Most Foul" .
I also love dogs and other animals. But author's one sentence is not palatable for many north-eastern people:
It says:
"Apparently North-Eastern students at JNU regularly lynch and barbecue dogs".
I heard that many people in Nagaland state eat dog meat. Now North-Eastern (NE)India consists of eight states: Assam, Arunachal,
Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Sikkim.
Except some people in Nagaland, people from other NE states do not eat dog meat. FYI, many people in NE India are vegetarians. Thus, it may be right to say that many students from Nagaland eat dog meat, but it is not right to say that whole north-eastern students kill dogs for meat.
Ambika's above statement is hurting the sentiment of many people of north-easter region of India. "

One of the most anxious days of our army posting in Nagaland had nothing to do with the insurgency. It was the day, our Irish Setter, Bindu went missing. After combing the area, my husband visited the Gaon Burha (village Pradhan) of the closest Naga settlement and spelt out all sorts of dire consequences if the dog did not return. Twenty minutes later, Bindu was safely home. ..........

This apparently is not the first instance of dogs being killed at JNU. Apparently North-Eastern students at JNU regularly lynch and barbecue dogs. Kali's mother, Leela, was an earlier victim. ..........
