MEMORANDUM TO:
Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde
Honorable Union Home Minister of India,
New Delhi.

By the
NORTH EAST STUDENTS’ ORGANISATION (NESO)
To,
Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde,
Hon’ble Union Home Minister,
New Delhi.
Subject: - Incidents of crimes against students from North East in Delhi.
Hon’ble Sir,
The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), comprising of the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU), All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), Twipra Students’ Federation (TSF), All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU), Garo Students’ Union (GSU) and All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) representing eight major students’ movements of the seven states of the North East Region, send you this memorandum to draw your kind attention to the recent incident in Delhi on the 29th of January 2014 in which a student from Arunachal, Mr Nido Taniam was beaten to death. These incidents of assaults, molestations are happening on a frequent basis resulting in a feeling of insecurity especially of the women folk and this has been amplified by the assault on 2 ( two ) women belonging to the Thangkhul Naga community, rape of one minor girl from Manipur at Munirka on 8th February, 2014, physical assault of two Manipur boys on 10th Februay, 2014. All these incidents happened just a few days after the murder of this boy from Arunachal.
Although such incidents have been vehemently denounced by the government at different levels, North East communities continue to suffer shock and panic as unabated attack and assault continues against their communities.
Despite the assurance given by Hon’ble Prime Minister office on 15th November, 2009 that he has directed the concerned authorities to take stern action against the culprits and to take special measures for the physical security of the North East Students, crimes against the students from North East States continues.
Sir, our humble submission is for your urgent intervention and do the needful for effective measures by the appropriate authorities which could give mental, social and physical security to the students and people of the North Eastern region studying and residing in Delhi and other parts of India.
Humble Sir, in the light of the above contention, the NESO is placing the following demands :
1) Capital punishment to the perpetrators of the heinous crime at the earliest.
2) Stringent action against the police personnel for failure to register case.
3) Inclusion of the North East - its geographical location, its people, its culture, its ethos etc. – in the syllabus of schools under all State Boards and Central Boards including the CBSE.
4) At least one Special Police Station should be established for dealing with cases related to racial discrimination and atrocities on NE s people, with a provision that it is manned by police officers from NE states.
5) Out of thousands of police personnel recruited from Delhi Police, the Govt. of India should make one time recruitment policy for at least 5000 Delhi police personnel in the respective capitals of 8 NE states.
6) Enactment of a stringent law against racial discrimination as Anti-Racism Act.
Looking forward for your kind attention and urgent and immediate necessary action.
